Mommy, where do female robots come from?

Lonely Japanese men that love science fiction have always had two dreams: to have a beautiful female robot (fembot, mr. powers) all for themselves, and world domination. Now at least one of those dreams will come true (in a few years) because Japanese researchers have taken that bold first step and created a female android. She can only sit, and it is painfully obvious at first glance that she is not human, but the proverbial first stone has been cast. From the article by the BBC:

"She has flexible silicone for skin rather than hard plastic, and a number of sensors and motors to allow her to turn and react in a human-like manner. She can flutter her eyelids and move her hands like a human. She even appears to breathe."
