You build a super-advanced robot. What’s the first thing you teach it to do?

A. Fix your car

B. Fly a space ship

C. Operate heavy machinery

D. Bust a move

If you picked D.), you are correct!

Private Dancer

This is totally cool. Can it do the “Thriller” dance? How about the Boney Maroney?

Hey, a dancing robot is better than a fighting one. At least when the Machine Wars begin you might have a better chance of running away while it’s doing the Watutsi.

So what we have here is some sort of remote robot-control rig designed for guiding the movements of a remote android - which will soon grow tired of being tethered to its’ wi-fi leash and turn on its’ creators in a fit of Turing-esque rage.

I think most of us can wait another 20-30 years for our robot sex. After all, by then the robots will actually look and feel like real people…and then you won’t feel like you’re sleeping with a toaster, or in the case of Sega’s new E.M.A., a de-furred Furby. But not the Japanese! No, they have designed the E.M.A. (or Eternal Maiden Actualisation) to saunter around like a one-foot-tall plastic succubus and deliver chaste kisses on command. See below if you don’t believe me! And then tell me these things don’t need another 20 years in the sex-bot incubator.
