Sega's new Kissing robot

Sega Toys today announced [JP, PDF] they will start selling a new humanoid robot in Japan, E.M.A., on September 26th. E.M.A. stands for ?Eternal, Maiden, Actualization? (whatever that means).

The robot is supposed to be female and stands 38 cm tall. Sega says E.M.A. is especially remarkable because of its ?glamorous body? and high level of interactivity. The robot is able to hand out business cards, it can sing and dance and walk ?like a lady?.

The kiss function is especially interesting. If your head comes close to the robot, its love mode kicks in and your will receive a kiss.

The battery-powered robot is equipped with infrared sensors for obstacles, position and sound. Moveable parts include the elbow, shoulders, the waist and the knees.

The Japan-only E.M.A. will set buyers back $175. Sega says they are targeting adults in particular with their robot and hopes to sell 10,000 units in 12 months.

What they don't want to tell you is what happens when your waist gets too close to the robot.

I missed the boat on that one; I have seen ohoh referred to a lot whenever something Japanese is mentioned? Why is Ohoh Japanese? Or does Ohoh have a Japanese fetish?
