I would just suggest to combine one of these Japanese robots with a realdoll (from realdoll.com of course).

Yeah, well, with their low birth rate and lack of immigration, they need to be more into robots. And of course, to help them repel Godzilla.

Perhaps a few Americans will be able to escape to Mars once the Japanese Robots rebel against their Human Masters and take over the world.

Interesting, but we still have a long way to go until ones that can hold a full conversation...unfortunately. The article said that the US is pretty much at the same level, but a lot of it is used for military application instead of domestic use.

EDIT: A bit OT, but how is the U.S. in terms of Biotechnology?
