When Katy Perry turned 40 she finally found a mate with as much brain matter in his head as she has in hers.

Couple petition town hall for right to marry....The first android human marriage could take place this weekend at a small town in Silicon Valley, if this couple gets their way.... Harmony Doesmachines and her significant other Beeper Humanoid, have petitioned town hall for the right to marry and live as a couple under the law....Human and android rights activists were out in force, and near rioting conditions were reported....The Town Mayor was reported to say,"We knew this was going to happen once the gay marriage thing got passed, it was only a matter of time."

We can only hope that Beeper Harmony will be heard in town hall....

Six years of on-line acting classes and my agent can only get me an eye candy job for an Arduino convention. I wish I had married Jose at Pancake Cottage.

Desperately trying to hide her 'O' face, the knee trembler could be observed the moment just before the circuit board exploded from being over stimulated.

I see an unsafe way to lift a load. Not a good way to use the hoist. Needs lifting slings.

Drunk and horny as hell, Ziggy the WonderBot is getting more than a little exasperated with Hilda's refusal to let him feel her up. Hilda, to her credit, still manages to maintain her composure and smile for the camera. You can bet, however, that once the cameras are off and no one else is around, she will rip him apart, piece by piece.

Prototype Lyn™Door Ind. "What's My Mood" acrylic mood-hair model that was demo'd at the 2016 CES.

The production model utilizes ASIC's disguised as earrings for the control circuitry.

Power is generated by nano generators in the dress.

(Comes with programmable monthly mood swing and irritability control)

I've seen this photo. It was on the cover of an HR brochure pinned-up in the break room:

Asexual Harassment In The Lab - What You Can Do

Inside were a few tips:

Hold Robby's errant gripper with one hand whilst placing the other near his power switch, then whisper into his built-in mic, "Yes, darl, I'm rather fond of you, too, but there's a time and place for everything, you know? Did you remember to pack those attachments I told you about?"

Change your hair color to something less distracting to autonomous machines as it sends mixed messages on-the-job. In other words, save that Intel Blue color for those romantic Silicon Valley weekends the two of you have got planned. (yes, we've been monitoring your emails for some time now. Disgusting! We're bringing the wine, btw. Mind?)

Place enhanced-performance adaptive motor controllers well out of gripper reach, especially the rack-mounted boards. Again, it sends Robby mixed messages, making it difficult for him to concentrate on the task at hand. At the other hand, we mean. They do multi-task, you know.

Smiley face - GA - I got a laugh, or several, out of your comment - especially to consider to change her distracting hair colour - the photobiotics cannot pick up and also cannot analyse the proper wavelength of the Toronto Maple Leaf blue losing colour spectrum.
