Sex robots will soon stand up straight in a major step towards uncanny human-like appearance.

Silicone Lovers founder Louie Love told Daily Star Online his company is producing dolls powered by artificial intelligence in a factory resembling a scene from HBO hit show Westworld .

He says designers are focusing on "hyper-realism".

Mr Love told Daily Star Online: "New models will be released as technology improves.

"For example, at the moment a new upgraded skeleton will be released so then all the future dolls from that brand will either be made with a lighter, more flexible skeleton or it will at least be available as an upgrade.

"There certainly could also be way of upgrading older models in future by incorporating computer chips and perhaps sound capability with a little 'plastic surgery'.

"You would be amazed at some of the modifications and repairs that people do.

"Both companies have a focus on hyperrealism, AI and actual robotic movement.

"They have voice recognition, eye and neck movement, mouths that sync with speaking, built in sensors that react to touch, internal heating and a fully articulated skeleton which can stand.

"They can also carry on a basic conversation with you and are equipped with learning technology to improve and remember conversations."

He previously told us: "We’re learning more about their robotics and AI and plan to introduce some higher tech models to our range in 2020.

"We also plan to work with another love doll manufacturer who are also leading the pack in the robotics department, with workshops that look like something out of Westworld.

Daily Star Online previously told of how sex robots are poised to become so lifelike they will fool humans into thinking they are human in the 2020s.

RealDoll is developing models with 3D vision, that will enable them to recognise an owner in a crowded room.

And Cloud Climax will produce sex robots that breathe using an AI chest cavity.

RealDoll founder, Matt McMullen, told Daily Star Online: "I would say probably within five to 10 years the appearance of a robot is going to drastically improve.

"AI may start to approach something in the mammal category but I don't see, necessarily, human-like intelligence and as such I don't think we can even consider the idea of human like self-awareness.

"That is really the big can of worms that people worry about with AI."
