It's not my part of the world but I thought it was interesting,
"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend." In japan, they have created a robot, that has infrared sensors, that will kiss any nearby human heads, when in "love" mode.

I agree with her^ I think this is kinda lame, because its only 15inches tall. If your gonna make a robot girlfriend, dont make it so it can stand in your palm.
Awwww I wish it was life sized.....that would have been a lot cooler. Anyways....i think the fact that robot girlfriends are even being made is pretty sad. Poor, lonely people in the world these days......
The concept of a Robot girlfriend is pretty pointless but this once again shows why Japan is leading the world in technology and especially in Robotics.
