Roxxxy the sex robot had a coming out party on 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 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 1.7 metres and weighs 54 kilograms "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 cannot walk or independently move its limbs.
Roxxxy versions are priced from US$7,000 to US$9,000, depending on features. The sex robot is available in Europe and the US and will eventually be available globally, according to Hines.
