Well, someone sure has been having some fun:
The company AI ROBOTICS was founded 2 years ago by Etienne Fresse and Yoichi Yamato, both robotics specialists working on developing cutting-edge technologies. During the last 3 years the two founders have dedicated all their time and energy to their project “robot woman LISA” which thanks to the support of numerous foreign investors will be presented to the public on June 11 2008. The company’s philosophy is to enhance the conditions of human life and to give as many people as possible access to new technologies. The company AI ROBOTICS is based in Kobe, Japan.
And to think that some people on MeFi (where I came across this) thought it was for real. Sheesh. But it does generate some discussion about what happens in the future when this reality does actually show up.
Hmm . . . seems that someone has considered this matter before . . .
