Well someone had to do it. And who other than those wacky Japanese engineers. The video below is of a functional robot called E.M.A. That's Eternal Maiden Actualization. Not the best name around, but they couldn't call it Hooker Bot 3000. Specifically because it isn't that and Matt Groening owns the rights to that title. At least I would make the assumption so.
So what does EMA do? Well she can sing, dance, hand out business cards, and when in "Love Mode" use her infra-red sensors to kiss near by human heads. I like how they specified Human Heads in the article.
That all being said, she is suppose to hit the market in September for around £85 (18,000 Yen). That's like $170 American if my calculations are right. So there ya go. Soon lonely guys, we will be able to legally buy a girlfriend anywhere we want soon.
