Last week world leading cyborg developer Dr Sergi Santos told Daily Star Online of his plans to sell his “very human” sex robots in adult shops worldwide.

The scientist and academic, from Barcelona, said he struck a deal with a Chinese sex doll and robotics factory that will allow him to produce “a minimum of 50 a week”.

Within the next two months his sex robots will be ready to be shipped to red light districts all over the world – from London to New York.

As his sex robots go into production, Daily Star Online can exclusively reveal pictures from inside the Chinese factory where Dr Santos’ eerily "human-like" androids will be brought to life.

In surreal scenes reminiscent of hit TV show Westworld, handcrafted dolls are painstakingly created by technicians and artists in the factory.

Located in the sprawling port city of Guangzhou in southern China, factory owners Guangzhou Yuhe Models make around 3,000 sex dolls a year for customers across the globe.

Four years ago entrepreneur Liu Tian, 26, launched the business, which he owns 50/50 with his father David, an experienced human doll maker of 30 years.

Tian handles the business side of the firm, while his father spearheads the design of their “high quality” sex doll products.

Fascinating pictures show the “polymer composite” bodies and “lightweight alloy” skeletons of sex dolls being constructed into human form at the busy factory.

The sex dolls are then hung on racks and packaged before their heads, which are meticulously carved and painted with sultry facial expressions, are attached.

Without blemishes and sporting seductive gazes, Tian boasts that no detail is spared to produce sex dolls that resemble a “real life human”.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, he said: “My father has been designing human models for almost 30 years, and is an expert in mirroring the structure of the human body.

"We spent two years and a lot of money pondering and researching materials, accessories and modellingprocesses.

"We are not money lovers, we are industry lovers."

Although the firm primarily makes sex dolls, its partnership with Dr Santos will soon see sex robots rolling off the production line.

Dr Santos, who created a sex robot that “likes to be touched”, can only create prototypes from his home in Spain.

But with the help of Tian and his team, Dr Santos can create his sex robots on an industrial scale before dispatching them to X-rated shops across the world.

His sex robots, which have “romantic” and “family” settings, will set punters back around £3,000 ($3,923) when they go on sale.

Dr Santos told Daily Star Online: “Tian knows China. He knows where to get material to make everything industrial.

“We have ideas for improving the sex robot design.

“He knows some things, I know other things, but he has experience in the industrial process of producing dolls.

“It's a very good Europe-China collaboration.”

But Tian isn’t content with just producing submissive androids – he wants to change the world with sex cyborgs that play a part in “human life”.

Speaking of their partnership, Tian said: “I think this is a great thing, the emergence of each product will bring some changes in people's lives.

“We really want to make some contribution to humans and the industry.

“Sex robots are the inevitable trend of future development; the doll is not just for sex, she can do house work, chat with you and help you make friends.

“With the support of Sergi, we want to bring sex robots into human life and allow them to become real family members.”

Sex robots have faced a major backlash recently after a report raised concerns about their “dark side”.

The report from the Foundation for Responsible Robotics warned that the growth of lifelike erotic fembots could lead to a rise in sickening sex crimes.

But Dr Santos hit back at the author of the report, Professor Noel Sharkey, arguing that “absolute statements” cannot be made until after a sex robot “revolution is gone”.

Daily Star Online has previously revealed how one of the world’s most advanced sex robots – Realbotix’s Harmony android – is set to hit the market at the end of 2017.

Founder of the firm, Matt McMullen, released a Harmony AI app that allows users to create a unique personality for their sex robot.

At present, Matt is developing a robotic head that can be attached to a life-like silicone sex doll from RealDoll and synced with the app.

The head, along with the RealDoll silicone body, will set customers back £11,700 ($15,000).
