Sex robot girlfriend unveiled
In what is billed as a world first, a life-size robotic girlfriend complete with artificial intelligence and flesh-like synthetic skin will be 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 giving AFP an early peak at 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.
Robotic movement is built into “the three inputs” and a mechanical heart that powers a liquid cooling system.
Roxxxie comes with five personalities. Wild Wendy is outgoing and adventurous while Frigid Farrah is reserved and shy.
There is a young naive personality along with a Mature Martha that Hines described as having a “matriarchal kind of caring.” S & M Susan is geared for more adventurous types.
People ordering the robots online at truecompanion.com detail their tastes and interests in a way similar to that at online dating sites but the information is used to get the mechanical girlfriend in synch with her mate.
“She knows exactly what you like,” said Hines. “If you like Porsches, she likes Porsches. If you like soccer, she likes soccer.”
Roxxxy is wirelessly linked to the Internet for software updates as well as technical support and sending her man email messages.
People can customize robotic girlfriends’ personalities and then share the programs with others online at truecompanion.com, according to Hines.
“Just think about wife or girlfriend swapping without actually giving the person to someone else,” Hines said. “You can share the personality online.”
Inspiration for the sex robot sprang from the September 11, 2001 attack that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City.
“I had a friend who passed away in 9-11,” Hines said. “I promised myself I would create a program to store my friend’s personality, and that became the foundation for Roxxxy True Companion.”
Hines sees his creation as not only a recreational innovation but as an outlet for the shy, people with sexual dysfunctions, and those that want to experiment without risk.
Roxxxy versions are priced from 7,000 to 9,000 dollars depending on features. The sex robot is available in Europe and the United States and will eventually be available globally, according to Hines.
