Sega E.M.A. Robot ready to serve your executive extravagances

segabot55.jpgHelping the robot apocalypse along, as usual, Sega has unveiled yet another robot built for fun called the E.M.A. (Eternal, Maiden, Actualization). Unlike some other robots that just "look" cool, the E.M.A. actually sings, dances and will offer up a kiss if you move your head close enough to its head (perfect for some of you dateless geeks out there in need of kiss-closing practice). Using infrared sensor technology, Sega claims the robot can even efficiently pass out business cards to potential clients, and execute a proper Japanese bow when the need arises. Unfortunately, starting September 25th, this love-bot will only be available in Japan for 18,900 yen ($176) here.

Even though I haven't watched it in years, does this not look eerily like Freeza from DBZ?
