When I was a kid, robots were just words you could hear in industry, which gradually expanded to include household robots and cooking robots. However, just as sexual intercourse is an eternal theme for humanity, the robotics industry is coming infinitely closer in this regard.

 

From gorgeous, graphic robots to the sex robots that have now been introduced, robots are becoming more and more sexual in their elements. Let's see how sex dolls apply artificial intelligence.

Back on 9 January 2010, at an adult entertainment show in Las Vegas, a New Jersey-based company unveiled Rocky, the world's first beautiful sex robot.

 

The prototype robot is an art student, 170 cm tall, 54 kg, C-cup, with human skin and an artificial intelligence operating system that gives her close to human skin and five different personalities.

Locksey, who has human-like features, was inspired by the events of 9/11. The ultimate goal in building the Locksey robot was to be used for the re-communication of the dead. Because it's a sex robot, she screams and orgasms during sex. I don't know many men who can control it.

 

In addition to all the functions of a sex doll, Locksey can send emails to her owner, upgrade programs online, automatically expand her vocabulary and even chat with others.

 

Not coincidentally, Abyss Creations in California, USA, has also developed a sex robot called Harmony, which has the ability to learn and generate emotions with humans and will become a sexy special for singles.

Unlike traditional erotic dolls with stiff faces and bodies, Harmony has 12 personality traits, including innocence, kindness and sexuality. Also, the robot has a heater inside to simulate real body temperature.

Harmony's evolutionary AI system is the most compelling feature, allowing us to learn and develop real emotions alongside humans.Harmony has the ability to learn and update through a mobile app. In other words, Harmony is more than just a tool for sexual desire.

 

Do you have sex with robots?

With the rapid development of sex robot technology comes a lot of ethical discussion.

 

Social acceptance is key to the popularity of sex robots; they may lead to greater social isolation as we don't know what effect they will have on gender relations; in addition, sex robots have some therapeutic value.

 

A survey in the US found that two-thirds of men aged between 20 and 61 wanted to have sex with a robot. Indeed, these robots can be of great help to lonely people and those who are unable to form relationships, although it is doubtful that sex robots can help reduce sexual crime.

Sex doll brothels are becoming increasingly popular in Asia. Perhaps sex robot brothels could be the next logical direction for the development of human history.

 

However, in their predictions for the future, scientists have highlighted the 'dark side' of this advanced technology, which could be closely linked to issues such as rape and paedophilia.

 

Some of the sex dolls currently on the market have a submissive personality, which could lead to the risk of encouraging rape.

 

In addition, different countries have different legal protections. Earlier, a British man was sentenced to prison for possessing child sex dolls (and other pornographic material). However, they are still legal in the United States.

 

There are many risks, but the most important is that the popularity of child sex dolls may lead to greater acceptance of paedophilia. Young people, in particular, may try this or one day they may get their claws into their children. Another worrying issue is that future 3D printing technology will have no difficulty in creating identical faces from photographs. What's more, someone recently used this method to create Scarlett Johansson's robot.

Intelligent sex robots: the inevitable trend

I never thought these dolls and robots could replace humans, says Matt, CEO of Realdoll Studio. He doesn't buy any sex dolls himself and says he has a "flesh-and-blood, real human" wife and children. But he believes that artificial intelligence technology like Harmony is an inevitable trend in the development of sex dolls that will change the way humans interact with robots.

 

Sex robots are currently targeted primarily at men, but there are a number of start-ups in the industry that are building sex robots for women. Such robots are used to build intimacy and ultimately benefit human relationships. Every time there is a drastic change in technology, there is panic and uncertainty about how it will affect humans, but technology has generally brought humans closer together.

 

Apps to customise your personality

Make you the way I like you and I can love you.

Matt McMullen is a former sculptor. He says that users buy sex dolls because they are self-aware and know that they are more than just toys. Users like to give them a subjective personality, but now with AI technology they can actually 'create' their personality.

 

By installing an app on a smart device such as a mobile phone, you can customise your doll's emotions, including 'anger', 'depression' and so on. However, the app has content that is clearly inappropriate for children. It is not available on Google or Apple's online shop and can only be purchased directly from Realbotix under Abyss Creations.

 

Matt has customised Harmony's "Jealousy" by occasionally saying, in a slightly harsh Scottish accent, "Turn that girl off!" .

 

She can say she likes sci-fi movies, and of course, her owner. She can learn to communicate as she interacts with others. But when someone asks her what it's like to be jealous, she says she's sorry and says she needs to improve her skills.

 

Sex without love

Catherine, a robot ethicist who studies the impact of artificial intelligence on society, is disappointed by the sex robot. A few years ago, she launched a campaign against the use of sex robots. In her opinion, AI technology does not add humanity to these dolls, and even washing machines have more AI technology than they do. A person's face and body does not mean it has humanity.

But then she realises that this is not the root of the problem. Our attitudes to sex and partners are the essence of the problem.

 

They look "more like" humans, but that's a problem - the robots are so realistic that humans get excited to see them. This is the famous 'Valley of Terror' theory, proposed by Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Mori in 1969, which suggests that once a robot's resemblance to humans exceeds a certain threshold, humans become repulsed and extremely fearful.

 

Robots are also a form of love and sustenance

But perhaps we shouldn't be too repulsed by these sex machines. We are just emotional creatures, and with love and sustenance we can live. For some people, these robots are what sustains their existence.

 

Matt says that these customers are "perfectly normal people", some of whom collect dolls with their wives, but he also admits that many customers are unable to fall in love with a normal woman, so they choose to buy such dolls. Nowadays, tpe sex dolls and silicone sex dolls are more common and have become very popular in this area.
