Haptics is the technological advancement that integrates users sense of touch into entertainment. For example, you know when you’re playing XBOX 360 and you feel a vibration through your controller? That’s haptics. But now, companies are advancing this technology into the adult industry as well. RealTouch is a company that is making virtual sex closer to reality. Their product, designed by a former NASA engineer, incorporates a device for men that follows along with whatever naughty video you choose from their long list.
You'll even be able to Tickle Torture your future sex robot.
Silicone sex dolls are the state of the art in artificial lovers, and we are a long way from real sex robots. But one thing that would help move sex dolls forward dramatically would be to make them touch sensitive, and responsive according to your touch. Touch response already exists, but we’re talking about touch screens on ipod and tablet computers–not exactly the type of surface you want to be interacting with.
What we need is a breakthrough in skin that not only recognizes your touch, but also feels like real skin. Well, now technology is taking us that one step closer to this intermediate step towards sex robots.
CNET reported:
British materials firm Peratech is developing artificial electronic skin for robots at MIT’s Media Lab that will allow machines to know where they have been touched and with what degree of pressure. So you could tickle, back-slap, or caress your favorite robot, and it would know the difference.
Peratech is using its “quantum tunnelling composite” (QTC) material to create touch-sensitive skin for intelligent machines at MIT. QTC is a low-cost, flexible, and electrically conductive material that would give robots a new means of interacting with people.
Made of spiky metallic nanoparticles and silicone rubber, QTC works by changing from an insulator into a conductor when pressure is applied. Peratech says robots equipped with QTC skin would be able to detect where they have been touched using a matrix of sensors on various body parts.
Peratech’s material has been used as a touching technology in NASA’s Robonaut, and well as by the Shadow Robot Company. No doubt robotic hands and manipulators would benefit from touch-sensitive skin for better grasping of objects, but I bet sex robot developers will take a lot of interest in this sort of material, too
“No doubt robotic hands and manipulators would benefit from touch-sensitive skin for better grasping of objects?” Yeah, that’s what we were thinking too.
Amber has pushed the limits with sex dolls. She purchased an exact replica of herself, down to every detailed, created for her own pleasure. Hot, weird, narcissistic, who cares? Granted we would have chosen to go with a slightly hotter sex doll, but the fact that she married herself is pretty damn cool.
It’s got us asking, is banging a sex doll that looks like you considered masturbation?
Seth MacFarlane is the man responsible for controversial, animated television hits, like “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” and “The Cleveland Show.” On Valentine’s Day, he worked a not-so-hallmark version of the famed holiday into “The Cleveland Show,” by including sex doll drama. In “The Cleveland Show,” a character is seen disposing of a body — thought to be his mother — but it turns out…to be a sex doll.
The sex doll, and soon enough, the sex robot, making its way into mainstream television.
Just when we thought we could leave the toilet seat up, they had to go and make sex dolls talk. All we men really wanted was for them to shut up and put out. Was that too much to ask? Damn you inventor Douglass Hines, what where you thinking!
“She doesn’t vacuum or cook, but she does almost everything else,” said her inventor, Douglas Hines, who unveiled Roxxxy last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
So wait, she talks, but she doesn’t vacuum or cook? We think he’s got things backwards.
But it gets worse:
Powered by a computer under her soft silicone “skin,” she employs voice-recognition and speech-synthesis software to answer questions and carry on conversations. She even comes loaded with five distinct “personalities,” from Frigid Farrah to Wild Wendy, that can be programmed to suit customers’ preferences.
She has multiple personalities? Watch out. Put it in the wrong hole, and she might flip a switch.
We admit there are some nice features though:
A motor in her chest pumps heated air through a tube that winds through the robot’s body, which Hines says keeps her warm to the touch. Roxxxy also has sensors in her hands and genital areas — yes, she is anatomically correct — that will trigger vocal responses from her when touched. She even shudders to simulate orgasm.
Ok, that’s cool. But Hines might have gone too far, when he said:
“To make it as realistic as possible, she has different dialogue at different times. She talks in her sleep. She even snores.”
So she snores, can’t cook, can’t vacuum, and talks. Could you at least have made her hot?
Filmmaker Robert Michael Sullivan has spent seven years creating an animated robot sex film called The Sex Life of Robots. It’s not cartoonish animation as one might expect, but it’s more industrial, metallic, raw. While it took the animation master seven years to complete (Michael does have to work, too) it is just a small part of what will be a larger project film. This short film used to be on Youtube.com until it was pulled down as NSFW. It then went up on Wired.com, but I’m unable to find it there. But I did find it hosted at Metacafe and have embedded the film here. Enjoy this beautiful film of robots, themselves creating a robot sex film, which all sort of feels like some futuristic industrial process.
Everyone has heard of them — the RealDoll silicone sex dolls (or love dolls as some call them). These beauties are customized just for you, and arrive to obey your every wish. These are the most life-like sex dolls in existence. They are bendable so you can out them into realistic positions, covered with skin that has an ultra flesh-like feel, come in ten female body types and fifteen interchangeable faces.
Nice! But who can afford one? It’s not exactly a priority in this economy. But, you can instead at least imagine you’ve got one of these ladies of your own, by going over to RealDollSex.com and watching other lucky men and women enjoy themselves with them.
And if you are one of the lucky ones who can afford a RealDoll, you can at least “test drive” one by seeing how they hold in real hardcore action.
Just as men get tired of their real women (yes, and vice versa we know), they also can get tired of their silicone girlfriends. But what to do when you are done with them? It’s not like you can just send them out the door. What to do?
A man in Izo, Japan found out the hard way that it’s not really a great idea to dump her in a public area. The 60 year old, on the verge of moving in with one of his children, needed to rid himself of the love doll he acquired when his wife died. He says he did not have the heart to slice her up and put her in the trash dumpster. So, he wrapped her up in a sleeping bag and proceeded to dump her in a wooded area. This became a problem when someone stumbled upon the “corpse” and contacted the police, who vowed to pursue what they thought was a prankster until caught. Frightened, he turned himself in and now faces fines for violating Japan’s Waste Management Law, not to mention public embarassment.
This funny video certainly seems appropriate for our blog, with all the talk about sex with robots now in the mainstream media and not just sites like this. Fueling the conversation is the recent publication of David Levy’s book, Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships. So, enjoy this video of January’s David Letterman’s “10 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Having Sex with a Robot.”
It comes as no surprise to readers that we at SexRobot.com believe that sex with robots is in our future. But when? President of the International Computer Games Association, expert on artificial intelligence, and author of the new book “Love and Sex with Robots,” David Levy, says that in a few years everyone will be having sex with robots.
He cites that companies making lifelike dolls are fetching prices in the high thousands, and that they are adding sensory features like nipples that appear to react to pleasure. Mr. Levy believes that by 2050 sex robots will be having full and interesting discussions with us. We disagree with this timeframe, given the nature of exponential technological advancement; intelligent sex robots should arrive considerably sooner than that. Read Ray Kurweil’s excellent book, “The Singularity is Near” to better understand this concept.
While he suggests that some people will end up marrying their robot, he doesn’t seem that enthralled with engaging in carnal pleasures with a robot himself, given his statement, “If I had a robot I’d make it clean the bathroom and dust.” Maybe it depends upon what she’s wearing, David.
