Nearly two years before Japanese fashion titan Yusaku Maezawa embarked on his recent tourist visit to the International Space Station, he made global headlines for launching a worldwide search for a "life partner" to go to the moon with him.
In his online appeal for love, Maezawa, who was 44 at the time, said he hoped finding a companion would ease the "feelings of loneliness and emptiness" surging within him. A few months later, however, he abruptly called off this quest for a romantic partner due to unspecified personal reasons.
Now, it appears Maezawa is betting robots may be able to fill the hole in one's heart.
