VideoJapanese scientists have unveiled a female humanoid walking robot at Tsukuba City, north east of Tokyo.
The robot, named HRP-4C, has 30 motors in its body that allow it to walk and move its arms as well as eight motors on its face to create expressions like anger and surprise.
She will also make a special appearance in a Tokyo fashion show and will go on sale for around $200,000 (£142,000).
Quick, someone call Deckard!

Well we're all thinking the same thing, does she have a inbuilt fleshlight?
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

So, do they have health codes for the prostitution biz? Who gets to be the health inspector?

This would ruin the sex trafficking industry. I'm sure sex trafficking lobbyist in Washington will try to keep them out of America.
