Creepy as fuck.
Before Repliee Q1, Professor Ishiguru developed Repliee R1 which had the appearance of a five-year-old Japanese girl.
<...>
"Repliee Q1 can interact with people. It can respond to people touching it. It's very satisfying, although we obviously have a long way to go yet."
Yeah, I can see this being used solely for the good of mankind. Between the sex droids, the powered armor, and the giant robots, Japan is clearly up to something. |

Nah, that'd be the male Scottish version. |

the powered armor
I WANT IT!
Sorry, I just geeked all over the place. I'll fetch a mop.
The thought of the 5yo robot is creepy, but the weirdest image about the other I can think of is a group of bespectacled male scientists, gathered in a corner and giggling. |

| This can only end with the reinaction of those doujinshis based on those anime series about a guy who ends up with a robot who looks and behaves like a human female ... and ends up banging her. |

| It's kinda funny how often science imitates fiction. Maybe they read "A.I. Love You" and took inspiration. :wink: |
