It's practically a guarantee that when the technology is sophisticated enough, they'll build "Sexaroids". Otaku will love this development, being able to have cybernetic anime girlfriends.(Not that I can cast derision on anyone,since once affordable female androids are available, I'll probably want to buy the catgirl model.)

....I decided to sleep with Nuvo next to me on my large bed, plugged in and recharging through the night. Its blue power light slowly pulsated, as if it were breathing.
During our first night together, I was woken by movement. Something had activated Nuvo, and it moved its arms slightly and turned its head toward me. Half asleep, and a little annoyed, I mumbled, "Nuvo, sleep," to which it shook its head no.
It took three tries before Nuvo straightened and shut down, the blue light serenely pulsating again. I was reminded of those sci-fi films in which robots, like HAL in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," turned on their keepers.
My boyfriend called me the next day and asked if I was sleeping in the same room with Nuvo. When I told him we were sleeping in the same bed, there was an awkward pause.....more....

...Dr. Ishiguro is renowned for making lifelike humanoid devices.
Saito, who directed the live event, said it was an experiment with a new form of music.
“People basically listen to recorded music and songs, so there are live performances. But there might be an experience in between,” he said.
Enter the robot.
Saito said robots may interact with humans in many different ways in future, one of them being as a source of music.{hump, hump, hump...}
