SO, like a ton of you General Discussion kids will NEVER leave the room now. I mean NEVER.

Douglas Hines is an electrical engineer and computer scientist who formerly worked on artificial intelligence at AT&T Bell Laboratories. But you won't find him pitching gadgets at CES.

Instead, he's manning a booth at the AEE where he's unveiling his latest creation: Roxxxy, the latest "sex robot" from the company Truecompanion.com.

Hines combined his background with the expertise of 18 artists and engineers from three countries to create a robot designed to "deliver the best in robot sex."

The project cost between $500,000 and $1 million and took about 2½ years to create, Hines said.

"It's really a labor of love," said Hines. He declined to release the robot's retail price until Saturday, which is the day Roxxxy officially goes on sale.

Customers interested in a Roxxxy companion can ask the company to customize the robot for their personal preferences. To create a robot that looks and acts like an ideal mate, customers fill out a questionnaire to give engineers clues about the robot's personality.

Though the prototype robot is modeled after a Caucasian fine arts student and is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 120 pounds, customers can choose hair color, eye color and other features, Hines said.

But even though Roxxxy is "always on," her attraction isn't supposed to be about only sex.

According to True Companion's Web site, she "can carry on a discussion and expresses her love to you and be your loving friend. She can talk to you, listen to you and feel your touch."

Skirk Dog can finally score some puss.

[Charismatic]

I doubt skirk dog has that kinda chedda so it's a no go.

[Kyo]

We should start a fund raiser, I'll bake cookies.

[Kryssan]

They should name it 'Sybian'. Just because.

[kuronosan]

Someone call Venga's friend. We found a solution.

[Boyiee]

We should ask for a higher donation amount for the BG raffle and give one of these away instead.

Now after all the years of using BG to turn us on, we can fuck it.

[Kilhart]

This looks like something good to invest money in.

For R&D, not to actually buy one.

[Qalbert]

this should have been in the "Sup, box".
Donations would have tripled in minutes.

How did the US manage to beat the Japanese to this? They can't be taking this lying down.

The Roxxxy bot is capable of taking it in any number of positions.
Also JP is taking longer because they have to squeeze it into a smaller flatter robot, and have optional tentacle attachments.

Need demo versions

and pics

Agree with the above that I am surprised the US got this before the Japanese XD

Wasn't there a japanese or canadian guy that made a sex bot like... a year or 2 ago. It had an AI and he could have conversations with it just like this one. It was posted on BG.

Mass producing, the US wins, however this has been done before for... private use... lol.

I think you're referring to that female bot that one Japanese guy made to be his girlfriend. He said it was capable of sexual interactions (or orgasming I don't remember) but he claimed to have never used it yet.

I am all over this like white on rice.

[Correction]

Finally a piece of ass who won't judge men who wear sandals and hot pants.

I can see the value of this (new way to get your rocks off), but I can also see a lot of fucked up shit coming from this too.

- Guys who actually fall in love with a robot, and therefore seek no other companionship (more ladies for me to choose from, but at the same time, messed up).

- Guys who "dump" or "cheat" on their robot to date, but fail miserably because the robot (which probably always says and does what you want...) has skewed their expectations.

- Serious injuries due to a malfunction while getting a hand job or blow job.

- People getting seriously humiliated when their co-workers find out they're banging a robot.

- Marriages ending after the wife discovers a robot mistress.

Also, what do you do with the robot in it's downtime? Shove it under the bed? The article says it's always on... explain that to guests.

This reminds me of a cartoon I saw in the 90s - I think Batman Beyond... some nerdy kid can't get laid, so he buys a robot woman, which is customized to look and act exactly how he wants. He creates his "dream girl". Women see him with this "perfect woman" and he immediately becomes desirable. He begins dating, and the robot goes berserk with jealousy, saying crazy bitch stuff like "I WAS MADE TO BE WITH YOU" and "I'M EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED"... Robot proceeds to try to kill anyone who goes after the guy.

I wonder how these would react to jealousy... blue screen of death? Blue balls of death on the male version?

How long before we see some really fucked up love/social lives emerge from this creation?
