The end bit is kind of creepy, in my opinion, but I'm liking the way this is going overall.

I, for one, would love to be able to talk to people over the Internet and still have some sort of physical presence on both ends to make it seem more natural.

Then again, I dislike even having to talk on the telephone, so perhaps I'm alone on that one...

At first sight, this looks like a joke. Specially the Kissenger.

However, as the article says, "What if the robot simply used AI to return your kiss?", or "talk with your in-game wife who is back home". Creepy. But also game changer.

These human-to-robot technologies are starting out, but I'm so curious to see how it evolves!
