Robot touts at Osaka sex clubs!
There are lots of sex clubs near the Minami area of Osaka, Japan and they used to employ pretty girls as touts, such as some pretty girls dressed in high school uniform and waving hands at passers-by to lure them step inside those sex clubs. But since 2005, it’s been banned. But the advance in technology really has helped them a lot. As what they do now is to employ humanoid robot isntead of human. These humanoid robots will stand in front of the doors of those sex clubs or along the street, also dressed in a “sailor suit” high school uniform and wave their hands to passers-by to lure them to the local sex clubs.

One of the sex clubs has just spent $4000.00 to upgrade its human-sized robo-tout, which is placed at construction sites to direct traffic to the club. The upgraded robotic tout will periodically raise and lower a banner that reads “Ask me!”.
