Another female android that goes by the name Repliee was unveiled at the July 2005 Q1 Expo. It was during that event that Professor Ishiguro was quoted to have realized the importance of having human-like robots after having developed multiple robotic androids as a human form can make us aware of the presence of a robot amidst us. He also stressed the importance of tactile reflexes in the robot that he described as very satisfying.

Nevertheless, he remains optimistic about creating an android that could provide a fleeting experience of a real human encounter. p>
