That's...depressing. Also...

“Japanese scientists grew up watching robot cartoons, so they all want to make two-legged companions,” Mr. Hara said. “But are they realistic? Do consumers really want home-helper robots?”
I would be very sad if all attempts at making a companionship robot stopped, for obvious reasons.
