The recently unveiled HRP-4C humanoid bishoujo android delighted the world’s media, but few questioned the wisdom of showing a “fashion model” robot off to the world in the nude.
It seems they should have; the addition of a maid outfit propels the robot from mechanical marionette to appealing moe servant.
Many raised concerns over the unit having fallen into the “uncanny valley”, the point at which the flaws in an artificial human become disquieting due to its imperfectly close resemblance to an actual human.
Japan can scotch this issue by way of maid moe it seems; in addition, selling these units in meido attire to compulsively consumptive otaku is likely to be child’s play.
The likely actual price of the robot has not been announced, but expect at least Akihabara robot maid cafés in short order. This also raises the question of whether a robot maid sex parlour would fall foul of anti-brothel laws…
