Sex robots provide companionship, and are always available, but can you really have sex with one? Is it safe? And what will this mean for human relationships?
We examine innovations like Realbotix’s modular AI heads, which can be attached to various body types, and DS Doll’s strides in creating more realistic skin textures and facial expressions.
The category covers the evolution of AI conversational abilities, from rudimentary chatbots to sophisticated language models capable of engaging in complex dialogues. We analyze the integration of sensors and actuators that allow these robots to respond to touch and environmental stimuli, creating more immersive experiences.
Ethical considerations form a crucial part of our coverage. We explore the ongoing debates surrounding the use of sex robots in therapy, their potential impact on human relationships, and the complex questions of consent and consciousness that arise as these machines become more advanced. Our reporting includes insights from leading ethicists, psychologists, and roboticists, providing a multifaceted view of these contentious issues.
We also investigate the legal landscape surrounding sex robots, including regulations on their production, sale, and use in different countries. The economic aspects of this emerging industry are examined, from startup funding to market projections and the potential disruption of traditional adult entertainment sectors.

Realbotix, the offshoot of RealDoll that’s working on all things artificial intelligence and robotics, has taken the next step towards delivering a fully interactive non-human sexual companion, but it still doesn’t have a body. The first product Realbotix developed was the RealDollX robotic heads, which are powered by the same AI now available in the […]
The world of sex robots is one that can be difficult to understand, with new developments regularly underway, and frequent depictions in the media. Here’s where we keep track of all the important sex robot developments.
So you’ve got your RealDoll and you’ve finally received your Realbotix head… but now you need to put it all together, so what next? Luckily, Matt McMullen, founder of RealDoll put together a walk-through video on YouTube. So, we thought we’d put these instructions down in text, for any readers that prefer to go step-by-step, […]
AI chatbots are set to be a large focus of the 2023 edition of the annual International Congress on Love & Sex With Robots conference, set to take place online on October 1-3. The event brings together academics, writers, sex experts and people who just really really love sex robots, and this year is in […]
Chicago-based Winkgrin has released a phone-controlled penis masturbation robot that aims to simulate oral sex on-demand. The Rubjoy features a ‘stroker sleeve’ that fits over a penis and has a stimulating, textured interior. The sleeve is mounted to a robot arm (a little bit like The Handy), with movement controlled by a smartphone app, which […]
The man behind RealDoll’s sex robots has said that they “remain a priority”, following an acquisition and new company focus on “non-adult” AI companionship robots. He also said that robot heads with “intimate friendship” AI are being developed by the newly-public company. Matt McMullen is the founder of Abyss Creations, which produces RealDoll sex dolls […]
Scientists from the University of Tokyo in Japan and Harvard University in the US have worked together on a study showing how synthetic skin could be better attached to robots. The researchers said that their findings, based on attaching fake skin to surfaces using ‘V’-shaped hole structures they called ‘anchors’, could benefit both the robotics […]
A Chinese sex robot and doll manufacturer has claimed that it will have the prototype of a “next generation” sex robot completed by summer 2024, featuring AI-powered language ability and sensor-assisted movement. Evan Lee, CEO of Shenzhen-based [extremely NSFW] Starpery Technology, said that the new sex robot will react to its user’s voice by speaking […]
What do we really know about attitudes to sex robots, their technology and development, and the ethical issues around them? Frustratingly, academic research into sex robots generally isn’t as well-funded as it is for, say, the world’s most damaging diseases. Over the last decade or so there have been various research papers and studies conducted […]
