Harmony is a new type of sex doll - one that can move and talk.
Her head, eyelids and lip movements are fairly crude and her conversation is even more limited.
But she is part of a new robotics revolution that is seeing artificial intelligence incorporated into an extremely human-like body.
Some think that it will revolutionise the way humans interact with robots while others believe that it represents the very worst in robotic advancement.
The uncanny valley - the idea that the closer we get to replicating the human form, the more scared we become of our creations - seems to have come to life in this unassuming factory on the outskirts of San Marcos, California.
"Did you put the bins out?"
"That ceiling could do with a lick of paint.."
"No we're not doing it that way, you filthy bastard..."

Your late, I got you beat with forty eight.
And, I am late I could have done better that with an earlier date.

I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

Excellent show...
Just wrapped up Season 2 a couple of weeks ago; it's been renewed for Season 3...
That's it.
Some good looking cyber-ladies in that show.
I remember seeing the trailers when it was first starting, but never sat and watched (never could figure out when/what channel it was on). Now it's two seasons old and if I could find the time/channel, I woudl have no clue what is going on.
Oh well, it's probably on when I am at a meeting anyway.
Or when I am doing something in the workshop.
Or past my bedtime.
