"Like a lot of tech these days, women tend to be an afterthought in the design process." It fits any body type, and it's not saying 'you need a penis or a vagina for this'.
I ran a prototyping project and one creation was robotic tentacles that, when you squeezed a controller, would curl around your body like a hug. "We already have smart sex toys now, including sex toys that someone else can control from a distance. The novelty is there initially, but there are other forms of technology that can be used for pleasure, and AI companions are a cheaper companionship option without needing the whole robot." What other kinds of sex tech already exist? I think it'll remain fairly niche, like the community of sex doll owners that exists now, but I can't see it becoming commonplace. "I honestly don't think we'll ever see mass production. Like a lot of tech these days, women tend to be an afterthought in the design process." Will we ever see mass production of sex robots? It's also very hard to find women who'll talk openly about owning one. They do do a male version of the doll, but it's not anywhere near as popular as the female versions.

It's: 'can I have a robot that fulfils the role of a companion?' That's emphasised in the marketing it's something that creates intimacy and companionship, and the sex is almost secondary to that. "Interestingly, the people that these are aimed at are interested in them from a companionship aspect. That's the closest people have really got. She's available to pre-order, but she's not actually being delivered to customers yet. There are a handful of workshops trying to develop them and a couple of prototypes, like the Harmony robot made by the company Abyss Creations. However, the reality is that there aren't even any for sale at the moment. "We have all of these ideas of fembots from science fiction: the 'guns for tits' robots, the beautiful robot in Ex Machina or the Buffybot. How do our ideas of sex robots compare to what they actually are? Here she answers all of our questions about the world of sex robots. Sex robot expert Dr Kate Devlin, a lecturer at King's College London and author of Turned On: Science, Sex and Robotshas the intel. But do sex robots actually exist?
