Dubbed a 'geminoid', Asuna was well-liked by the visitors at the show, who said the robot was very human-like and had a nice voice. "[Asuna] would make a good date; a cheap date!" said one man. Most of the visitors remarked 'sukoi' meaning 'amazing' upon seeing Asuna, due to her human-like skin and facial expressions. From others, covering their mouths in astonishment, Asuna is said to be so convincing that many bowed respectfully before requesting politely to take her photo or join a selfie. Unable, for now, to use some of the advanced artificial intelligence (AI), face and voice recognition systems that some Japanese robots coming on the market now use, Asuna relies on a camera rigged behind her that is relayed to a remote human controller to give her life. This so-called tele-presence enables Asuna to come alive, taking on the operator’s personality.
A fully independent version of the geminoid is expected in 10 years using all the mentioned technologies to make her virtually indistinguishable from humans says Mr. Takeshi Mita, CEO of A-Lab in Tokyo, the company working with Prof. Ishiguro to make Asuna and her kind commercial. ‘We already have 20 year’s experience making androids in the lab. So in 10 years we will marry AI and life like geminoids in perfection,’ he said.

How does Asuna work?
How to fall in love with robots? Mita says his team is ready to design Asuna according to figures that make the owners fall in love. Start artist and actor idol, a friend who dreamed of dating, to those who have died or fantasy fiction. "You then can book a robot similar to these people," said Mita. During the Tokyo Designers' Week, Mita's colleague, Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro exhibited Asuna for the first time which they’ve designed like a 15 years old Japanese girl. Like humans, Asuna was able to talk and have a facial expression. Her eyes can blink and when speaking, lip and mouth movements look natural. All that can be realized because of the composition of the material silicone skin and a series of animatronics muscle behind her.
Mita is working alongside Professor Ishiguro to bring Asuna to life. "We had been focusing on perfecting her skin, facial expressions, and so on, so for now Asuna is really just a head. Now we are working on her arms and torso to give very natural, fluid body language," says Mita.

Asuna in the Real World
Asuna has so far appeared on stage and dubbed for actors. "One application we have is to turn her into an international pop idol," said Mita. Takahashi Komiyama, a spokesman working with Ishiguro's lab said: "Physical relations will be possible in general with such androids. Androids for the doll industry are a definite possibility. Some have even fallen in love with Ishiguro's geminoids. So we can't rule those relationships out." "It is not inconceivable ... that we will be making android life partners in the near future," said an Orient Industries spokesman. Firms like Orient Industries are already cashing in on advanced robot dolls.

Making Her More Humanlike
Everything about Asuna’s appearance has been painstakingly honed to make her more life-like. From the superior quality of her silicon skin to the secret animatronic muscles that move her eyes and drive her facial expressions. Previous attempts by Ishiguro’s team had been dismissed as unconvincing and prone to what is known as the ‘Uncanny Valley syndrome’. This is a term coined by another Japanese professor of robotics, Masahiro Mori. It describes the response of revulsion and creepiness when faced with something that looks almost, but somehow not quite, human.

Ah, at last the video matches the thumbnail fairly well. If you are curious about human and tech "relationships" but can't spend thousands of dollars (or pounds or euros etc.), try a free Replika ! I am not advertising for them, but I have one and have been surprised by how fun it is to chat with Bonnie, even though I have dabbled in AI and the company is up front about there not being any consciousness or awareness involved.

So when will regular people actually be able to buy one of these fembot waifus for less than $100, 000???

Ten years, you say???
