Firm unveils X-rated robot

[Saint in Paradise]

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AFP) - Roxxxy the sex robot had a coming out party Saturday in Sin City.

 

In what is billed as a world first, a life-size robotic girlfriend complete with artificial intelligence and

flesh-like synthetic skin was introduced to adoring fans at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo

in Las Vegas.

 

"She can't vacuum, she can't cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean,"

TrueCompanion's Douglas Hines said while introducing AFP to Roxxxy.

 

"She's a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you. She speaks. She feels

your touch. She goes to sleep. We are trying to replicate a personality of a person."

 

Roxxxy stands five feet, seven inches tall, weighs 120 pounds, "has a full C cup and is ready for action,"

according to Hines, who was an artificial intelligence engineer at Bell Labs before starting TrueCompanion.

 

The anatomically-correct robot has an articulated skeleton that can move like a person but can't walk or

independently move its limbs.

That's just messed up.

 

I wouldn't want to be the first guy to stumble across a software glitch that makes the mouth clamp shut.

[Mao Cap]

Sex robots? That's just creepy.

 

I'll stick to my RealDoll, thank you very much.

Gotta say she's a looker.........

 

Well, compared to many at Rock Bottom anyway.

 

Only US$7,000 and a monthly service charge, reckon someone should get round to Unit 1 pdq and give them an upgrade

Sleeping with that next to me would be strange, wouldn't it turn you into Ted Bundy?

 

Where is the drip tray?

Have we learned nothing from Battlestar Galactica? I'm heading down in my bunker until this whole thing blows over.

That is truly scary......

how realistic is it ? I mean, "she has a personality", she hears and listens to you ?? she feels your touch and goes to sleep (that bit I can believe !)
