Kokoro has done a great job with these. We will soon see them in a movie as actors, (not if, just when?).
One thing though - they could smile more, it would make them less “real” but much nicer.
I expect to see these employed as security desk personnel in buildings where they will always be pleasant and work 24/7 with no breaks. Real employees get bored with saying “the elevator is to your left, Mr. Jones is on floor 23”. (Besides most real desk sitters fail to know who is in and out, or where they are located, a robot would remember).
As for sex bots ... sure it is a market, but these girls are not quite “open for business” in that area. Give them a little time and one never knows. Personal Care Assistant robots fem or he may be our next greater Home Appliance.
