World's first sex robot with a 'personality' unveiled

The world’s first commercially available robot girlfriend has been unveiled, boasting artificial intelligence capabilities that allow it to hold 'conversations' with its owner.

Roxxxy, the life-sized, anatomically correct android, comes with artificial intelligence, an articulated skeleton and flesh-like synthetic skin.

‘She can’t vacuum, she can’t cook but she can do almost anything else, if you know what I mean,’ said creator Douglas Hines, of manufacturers TrueCompanion.

Despite her articulated limbs, another thing she can't do is walk or move her limbs by herself.

The robot stands 1.7m (5ft 7in) tall, weighs 54kg (8st 7lb), ‘has a full C cup and is ready for action’, he told an adult entertainment event in Las Vegas.

Roxxxy also comes with five personalities – Wild Wendy is outgoing and adventurous, while Frigid Farrah is reserved and shy. Owners can also customise her features including skin colour, hair colour and breast size, as well as modifying her personality and topics of conversation to match their interests.

Roxxxy is linked wirelessly to the internet, enabling her to email her owner and receive software updates, and allowing the owner to share customised personalities with other users.

Versions of Roxxxy are priced up to £5,600, depending on features. There’s also good news for lonely women – a male sex robot named Rocky is in development.
