The world’s first “sex robot”, a life-size rubber doll called Roxxxy who can have real conversations with her owner, including about football, has been unveiled.

The dark-haired, negligee-clad, life-size robotic girlfriend comes complete with artificial intelligence and flesh-like synthetic skin.



Standing five feet, seven inches tall, the doll weighs 120 pounds, comes with five “personalities”, is “ready for action” her developers said.



A male version of the doll, dubbed Rocky, is also planned.

Roxxxy, who can chat with her flesh-and-blood mate about subjects including Manchester United, also elicits comments depending on how she is touched.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.the New Jersey-based artificial intelligence engineer said. (Yeah that's not sexist...)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”.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.Mr Hines said it was not only a recreational innovation but also something that shy people with sexual dysfunction, and those who want to experiment without risk, could use.In a 2007 book, "Love and Sex with Robots," British chess player and artificial intelligence expert David Levy argues that robots will become significant sexual partners for humans, answering needs that other people are unable or unwilling to satisfy.Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6963383/Foxy-Roxxxy-worlds-first-sex-robot-can-talk-about-football.htmlIdk, part of me wants to argue that this is an example of the further sexual objectification of women, another part wants to feel sorry for the sort of man who would actually need something like this, and another part just wonders what the consequences of putting your junk into electrical equipment could be.
