Is the nature of sex robots companionship? Of course, in addition to Lumi dolls and Abyss, a large number of companies are also developing and manufacturing “sex robots”, such as true companion, a New Jersey technology company.
When a computer engineer named Douglas Hines lost his close friend in the 9 / 11 incident, he immediately got an idea: Although he can’t talk to him anymore, can he keep his personality in the computer forever? Hines works for the Computer Research Institute at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey and as an AI engineer. He decided to take the software home, tweak it, and design his friend’s personality as a computer program – he could chat with him anytime, anywhere, and keep a version for his friend’s children.
A few years later, Hines’s own father suffered several strokes, which damaged his body, but his mind was still clear For this reason, Hines reprogrammed the AI so that the robot partner could accompany his father when he was away. Hines founded true companion to sell his robots to the public, believing that the smart mate will have great market potential. His first project, however, was not an “Ai medical assistant” or “Ai companion device,” but a product with the greatest commercial appeal, the sex robot.
The robot, named Roxxxy, socializes with lonely, widowed and “socially abandoned” men. She will provide them with an opportunity to practice socializing and building relationships. Hines told the guardian: “The sexual part is superficial, the difficult part is duplicating the personality and providing this emotional connection.” He doesn’t think replacing human presence with circuits and silica gel could lead to emotional gaps. On the contrary, the purpose of sex robots is to provide unconditional love and support.
Hines launched the product at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas in 2010, after spending three years making the first prototype Roxxxy. It is worth noting that this exhibition is the most famous annual conference and trade exhibition in the global adult industry, where studio owners and sex toy designers will show off their latest products.
However, although the product has become a topic of discussion before the exhibition, it has become the object of ridicule after the exhibition. Because she’s not sexy, she’s a clumsy Finnish model in cheap clothes, leaning awkwardly to one side, even with a square chin. Although she is equipped with internal sensors, for example, if you touch her hand, she will say: “I like to shake hands with you. “But Roxxxy’s lips can’t move and can only be heard through speakers under the wig. Seven years have passed since the launch, but Hines revealed on twitter that he is preparing a lot for the launch of his 16th version of Roxxxy.
Although it’s not sure whether Roxxxy ‘s appearance will be liked by male consumers, the title of “sex robot” has made headlines and brought a series of inspiration to other companies that produce companion robots
