A BABY robot designed to "invoke an emotional connection" has been unveiled in Japan to fill the void that has been left by plummeting birth rates (not a surprising fact if you caught our Dispensary Corner on the high number of virgins in the country).
The Kirobo Mini (below), the brainchild of Toyota, has been equipped with artificial intelligence and a camera allowing it to recognise faces and respond accordingly.
The baby robot brings the traits and cuteness of a baby without the added responsibility.
It wobbles, blinks its eyes and speaks in a high pitched voice.
They are expected to start being sold in Japan next year for 39,800 yen (AU$507), somewhat cheaper than the cost of raising a real child.

Some very special 'Viagra' sausages which are equal parts delicious and arousing.
And, as an added perk, they are also part of a special campaign help to raise awareness about men's health issues.
The #SaveOurSausages push was set up by UK man Matt O'Connor who thought the sausages were a "humorous way of looking at serious issues like depression, suicide, low testosterone, cancer and violence".
