Re: Japanese develop 'female' android

Quote:
Professor Ishiguru believes that it may prove possible to build an android that could pass for a human, if only for a brief period.

"An android could get away with it for a short time, 5-10 seconds. However, if we carefully select the situation, we could extend that, to perhaps 10 minutes," he said.


I'd say that's about all the time necessary for the first few people standing in line to buy one of these beauties.
