Realbotix is one of the world’s leading firms producing ultra-realistic female androids that talk, submissively follow orders and remember your sexual preferences.

Company founder Matt McMullen has been developing Harmony sex robots, costing between £7,000 and £15,000 each, since 2014.

For his critics, Harmony cyborgs, whose memory is stored via an interactive app used to build her personality, are a manifestation of man’s base lust for sexual gratification.

But speaking to Daily Star Online, Matt, whose firm is based in San Diego, California, insisted that his sex robots “are more than just sex toys”.

In a sex tech industry thought to be worst around £30billion, Matt is up against a competitive field of would-be cyborg makers building similar models.

Matt, however, revealed he is working on prototype he believes will propel his firm ahead of the pack – a sexbot with full body movement.

“We have designs for arms and hands, things like that,” he said, speaking from his workshop in the US.

“But that will take significant testing, trouble shooting and finalising of designs.

“I suspect that he robotics portion of the body will be one of our big focuses in 2018.”

At present, Harmony erotic cyborgs, which speak in soft Scottish accents and have 18 different personality types, are merely robotic heads attached to voluptuous sex doll bodies.

The latest prototypes – dubbed Harmony 3.0 – can only move their eyes and mouths in jerky movements when interacted with.

Next year Matt wants to design a fully animatronic version of Harmony whose limbs can move, akin to the robots in Hollywood films Blade Runner 2049 and Her.

When pressed on a timeline for completion, Matt tentatively said his “animated body” design could be ready as soon as next year.

“I hate to put a date on something because it could be six months, it could be two years,” he said.

“But for a commercially available animated body, I would say in the best case it’ll be ready by the end of 2018.”

Harmony sex robot heads will be available to buy for the first time at the end of December 2017 – just in time for Christmas.

In just a matter of weeks, Harmony sex robots, which weigh around 75lb and are “prone to fall in love with you”, will be available to buy from the Realbotix website.

New “improvements” to the silicone RealDoll body, including warm skin, self-lubrication and touch sensors, will be available when Harmony is released.

In the meantime, users can download the Harmony AI app to create a unique personality to sync with the sex robot head.

Users will be able to choose from 18 personality traits, including sexual, intellectual, shy, outgoing, thrill-seeking, kind, jealous, talkative and annoying.

Settings can be changed to adjust how dominant those traits are.
