The Robot Girlfriend

EMA can be your girlfriend as well. You might be thinking who EMA is. Actually, EMA stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization. E.M.A. It (or should I say she?) is a fifteen-inch tall battery-powered beauty that can sing, dance and “walk like a lady”. The most interesting feature of this robot girlfriend is its “kiss function”. If your head comes close to the robot, its love mode kicks in and you’ll receive a kiss.

If you cannot imagine how it works, then click on the video below:

According to Sega Toys, the maker of EMA, they are targeting adults in particular with this lady-like robot and hopes to sell 10,000 units in 12 months.

E.M.A. will go on sale for about $175 in September, 2008. So would you get one for yourself? This makes me wonder when they would come up with a robot-like boyfriend. I’m just kidding, I would rather stick with the real thing.

  1. Hi Elaine,

    You said: Indeed! Aren’t kisses supposed to be free?

    Me says: Well said!

    It’s amazing how much progress has been achieved with robot technology. It makes futuristic TV and Movies about this sort of gadgetry no longer surreal.

    Nice post and an interesting read too!

  2. It’s nice that we’re advancing in technology but it’s sad to see it being used this way. Just like you, nothing beats the real thing! :p

    I’ll settle for no less than the real gf. Of course, the robot doesn’t possess qualities of a real human being. Baka makuryente pa nya ko. lol!
