Chillingly life-like robots are causing a storm in Japan – where their creators are about to launch them as actresses, full-size mechanical copies for pop idol fans, and clones of the dearly departed.
There is even talk that the naturalistic, even engaging, she-droids may be taken up as men as partners in the not-too-distant future.
Android Asuna was a star attraction at Tokyo Designers’ Week showcase earlier this month and she is one of a series of geminoids, as their inventor dubs them, that are ripe for commercialisation say their creator robotics professor Hiroshi Ishiguro.
...
A fully independent version of the geminoid is expected in 10 years using all the above technologies to make her virtually indistinguishable from humans says Mr. Takeshi Mita, CEO of A-Lab in Tokyo, the company working with Prof. Ishiguro to make Asuna and her kind commercial.
'We already have 20 year's experience making androids in the lab. So in 10 years we will marry AI and life like geminoids in perfection,' he told MailOnline.

Heh.
For those that can hold on, the ride is worth it.
Having watched this important PSA and learning of Earths fate at the hands of aliens...I say DATE MORE ROBOTS!
I see an opportunity in the environmental/recycling business. Imagine how many beta men have broken physically and mentally by redheads.
We could gather them up and charge a fee to store them. Kinda like a human towing/junkyard.
Just put them in a dark room with padded walls so they don’t injure their heads with all that pitiful banging.
:)
And the whimpering. Always the whimpering.
Ever notice how libs are always making memes slamming ‘Gingers’ all over the internet? It’s the fear.
Never thought of it that way.
;]
Now that I think of it, Redheads could prove a boon to national security after the collapse when America reforms. You know how they used dogs in Terminator to ID the T600 and T800s? In the reguilt America we could use redheads to ID liberal men.
When someone shows up at the compound, simply have a redhead say “Your spleen. I want it. Give it to me.” Now being any male with testosterone would see it as a challenge and invite her on a date. The liberal male however would launch into a feelings based emotional rant about coexisting with his body parts.
Upon discovery we simply shoot the invader if we’re feeling compassionate. Otherwise, the lib learns first hand about the seriousness of the question.
And we save on food.
This is brilliant.
I have plans of my own for the apocalypse.
I’m prototyping the idea and wargaming it out in Skyrim now. I call it the Seninaked Valkyrie Army and it is composed almost entirely of redheads and their bottled brethren. They leave death in their wake.
So far nothing has stood against it so I figure I will rule the world eventually. I mean who would dare stand against it in real life ;)
“I love women of that,er,caliber”
I have my own swords.
I report to no one.
:P
That’s OK, there’s plenty of room for solo operators. I believe in diversity.
Good thing.
Can you imagine me as a subservient underling?
HA HA HA HAAA!
[I want “NOMAD” written on my shield]
;D
Redhead and ‘subservient’ don’t really add up, tis’ true. Besides, Lydia is more of a ‘strategic advisor and policy specialist. anyway. She says things like “Skyrim belongs to the Nords!” and “Now you’ll pay!” which I am pondering the deeper meanings of but I’m sure that given time, their wisdom will be revealed.
And she cooks.
Good.
I don’t.
Unless there’s something in it, for me.
:)
It’s as good as any other plan out there. Red heads are the wild card though.
