Japanese professor Hiroshi Ishiguro yesterday unveiled a female android that can laugh and smile as it mimics a person's expressions.

Using a motion-capture system, the robot, called Geminoid TMF, can move its rubber face to imitate a smile, a toothy grin, and a grim look with furrowed brows. Prof Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University, developed the android with a team of researchers together with Japan's robot maker Kokoro.

Geminoid TMF was modelled on a young Japanese woman, who was present at the unveiling today. 'I felt like I had a twin sister,' the woman said afterwards.

The developers said they expected the robot to be eventually used in real-life situations, such as in hospitals.

'We've already got some data showing that the robot gave patients psychological security by nodding and smiling at them, when patients were checked on by doctors,' Satoko Inoue, spokeman for Kokoro, told Dawn.com...

I like this one better - it's got Braille markings. ;-)

All this has happened before. It will happen again.

"BRING ON THE FEMBOTS!!!"

They could probably market these to China, since China kills off the majority of its female population in the womb.

It will be the syngal for all the single Chinese men that were born in a country that tosses female babies in the river.

Plus its even better population control.

Either that or most Chines men go gay.

“... you have to wonder if they are anatomically correct. They don’t really design them that way do they???????”

It’s Japan.

You have to ask?... Japanese guys are even more horn dogs, than us Yanks. Way more I dare say. :)

That’s what I’m talking about!

The "8" series was modelled after a Piconoid, I believe,,,

[Mister Muggles]

That’ll work.

The Obama Administration has its own version.

Yes, this trend could go horribly wrong!

Keeping the J-male otaku (nerd) crowd happy with android women.

>>Did someone say "Android?"

"How can it not know what it is?"

"Ever use that test on yourself, Mr. Deckard?

Great movie. Ever notice there are NO children in it?

The Japanese keep investing millions into research to replace in part, Japanese women in the discete lives of a male dominant society.

The android sex machine has little appeal outside Japan, except for people like Bill Clinton, who unlike Jay Leno, likely does not collect vintage automobiles.

Some of the best feminine companionship in the world is now available from the real deal, and perhaps unfortunately not generally to Japanese men either, who seem generally confused and intimidated by the real thing.

Real Doll only costs $5,999.00.CHEAP! LOL.

What is really funny is how web sites who report on female android "dolls" , encode ther photopgraphs so they cannot be transported around the web. They treat the photos as "special" and do not want their pseudo Girl Friends photos broadcast across the web. Why? Well who wants the same doll as the next guy? Every nerd needs to feel he has that "special" one? So I am outing this lefty trend which is so closet as to be assinine.

What a riot!

See about 5000 guys closet queens right here:
