Robo-Chefs and Fashion-Bots On Show In Tokyo 35
avishere writes "The International Robot Exhibition kicked off this week in Tokyo, unveiling the latest whirring and buzzing inventions from 192 companies and 64 organizations from at home and abroad — and bringing humanity another step closer to irrelevance. Among the humanoid cavalcade was a prototype robo-chef, showing off its cooking and cutting skills, along with robots to play with your children, model clothes, and search for disaster victims. There was also one made almost exclusively of cardboard. The exhibition — which opened with a human-like robot called Nextage cutting the ribbon — runs until Saturday."

It's a tradition in Robotmaking - viz Maria from Metropolis. [harrr.org]
Men build sexually arousing robots - mythologically it goes back to Pygmalion and Galatea [wikipedia.org].
When men pretend to be robots [youtube.com], it just comes off as ridiculous.
