Doll collector Brick Dollbanger, who has close ties to manufacturers Realbotix and Abyss, previously said AI girlfriends will become “indistinguishable from humans”.

He says one of the latest advancements towards achieving this will be their ability to walk.

Asked about sex robot technology, he pointed towards a new Sanctuary robot, named Synth, which he says will be “walking in less than 10 years”.

And he says sex robots will be poised to be walk among us too after being installed with similar technology, but in around 20 years.

He told Daily Star Online: “The advancements are pretty dramatic right now.

“It is just the tip of the iceberg. Abyss is developing a torso similar to Sanctuary’s and it will be affordable.

“I think it will be released in a couple years. Sanctuary will have a Synth walking in less than 10 yrs, and I am talking a human-like synth.”

He also said he will be experimenting with a new “Nova” head this week.

This comes with a vision upgrade and better facial movements.

Brick, founder of brickdollbanger.com, told us: “I am receiving my Nova this week and will debut her on Facebook.

“Vision, is the next upgrade that will be included with the Harmony Realdoll X from Abyss. I hope to be testing it at the end of the year.

“The Nova that I am receiving has had numerous animatronic upgrades, better eye and facial movements.”

Sex robots have rapidly increased in popularity in recent years as a small community of people experiment with the synthetic models.

Fresh vision updates will enable robots to recognise their owners in a crowded room.

But the major breakthrough will be 5G, which he says will help make the dolls unrecognisable from our own species.

He previously told us: “Anytime you can get a steadier flow of information from software to hardware activation, you are going to get better syncronisation and smoother more lifelike movement from your hardware.

"That’s the key to synthetic evolution. Not just movement, but humanlike movement to the point of being indistinguishable from actual humans."

"Once it (the upgrade) finally is on board the synthetic, it will only use Wi-Fi to access the net for info.

"I see this occurring once the synthetic becomes mobile and carries its own power cell. It will all be hardwired into the body and head and it will no longer need a carrier signal.

"Probably a signal will be used on occasion to update the AI, and 5g will help with this."
