I'm not asking for myself, but a friend of mine was too chicken to ask, so I said I'd do it.
He's working on a robot designed for the assisted care industry and it would be useful to him if he could advertise that besides being of great temporal value, they also had some spiritual value.
The best feature is that a loved one could log "into" the robot, to see and hear what the robot sees and hears, and then talk through the robot to sing a lullaby, or read from the book of Abraham, or crimp the oxygen line of the patient... You know, all the things humans can do.
I told my friend that if the price were right, the Big 15 would probably say ghawd was cool with it, as long as the robots were straight.
