Foxy 'Roxxxy': world’s first 'sex robot' can talk about football.
This is where all of the big advances in AI and robotics will come from.
The anatomically-correct robot, who can even snore, has an articulated skeleton that can move like a person but can't walk or independently move its limbs.
There is Wild Wendy, who is outgoing and adventurous, Frigid Farrah, who is reserved and shy, a young unnamed doll with a naïve personality, “matriarchal kind of caring” Mature Martha and S & M Susan, who is geared for more adventurous types.
She is wirelessly linked to the internet for software updates, technical support and to send her man email messages, he said.
Mr Hines, from TrueCompanion, said the doll could carry out simple conversations and was designed to “know exactly what you like”.
“Sex only goes so far, then you want to be able to talk to the person,” he said.
“She knows exactly what you like. If you like Porsches, she likes Porsches. If you like soccer, she likes soccer.”
People’s customised personalities can be shared with other users online through his company's website.
"Just think about wife or girlfriend swapping without actually giving the person to someone else," he said.
Its robotic movement is built into "the three inputs" while a mechanical heart powers a liquid cooling system.
Inspiration for the sex robot sprang from the September 11, 2001 attacks, he said, where a friend died and he vowed to store his personality forever.
A male version of the doll, dubbed Rocky, is also planned.
I wonder if they'll take out the 'talk about football' part.
