A pair of STRIPPERS made out of mannequin parts, windscreen wipers and a couple of old CCTV cameras are "performing" at the world's biggest technology event.

The Consumer Electronics Show takes place every year in Las Vegas and draws thousands of geeks to Sin City. All the latest tech innovations are revealed allowing gadget fans to get hot and heavy with the latest toys.

And now they can stop off for a well-deserved break to watch the robo-strippers pulse and gyrate around poles just like their flesh-and-blood counterparts.

The pair are actually the creation of British artist Giles Walker, who says they've been designed as an expression about surveillance, power and voyerism.

They will be on display at the Sapphire Gentleman's Club, located a few blocks away from the Las Vegas Strip. The club isn't part of the official CES program but it has often found itself attracting inquisitive nerds in town for the show.

"This is our 18th year for the club, and we felt we needed to come up with something new and unique," Peter Feinstein, the club's managing director said.

"It used to be just nerds. But we wanted something more creative that would appeal to both men and women."

Costing an amazing £2,500 to hire, the robot's movements are controlled by a computer. They were initially created in 2012 as part of a show called 'Peepshow'.

"By placing the CCTV on the body of a pole dancer I am looking at the relationship of voyeurism and power," said Walker.

And are plain old human pole dancers worried about the robots taking their job?

"I think there are a lot of people with weird fetishes so I am sure somebody will get turned on by that," one of the club's dancers, called Rouge, told Phys.org .

"But nobody can beat the beauty of someone, and our talent with our brains, the way we talk, the way we use our bodies," she said.
