Sega's E.M.A. Robot Walks Like a Lady, Offers Up Smooches

by Joshua Fruhlinger on June 13, 2008 at 08:01 AM


There's something that makes us a bit uncomfortable about a robot that sports a "glamorous body," walks like a lady, and offers up some serious snogging. Today, Sega announced the E.M.A. (Eternal, Maiden, Actualization) robot that sings, dances, and -- yes -- kisses. If you get close enough to E.M.A., she drops into love mode and, well, the rest is up to you, big guy. Interestingly, it looks an awful lot like Wowwee's Fembot, which was announced back at CES in January.

Set up with infrared sensors to avoid obstacles (and, seemingly, sense your desire for some love nubbins) and movable elbows, shoulders, waist, and knees, E.M.A. will run around $175 and hit store shelves on September 26. [Via CrunchGear]
