2. HISTORY OF SEX
ROBOTS
Ariel Hernandez

3. History of Sex Robots
Sex robots started in the Ancient Roman Mythology
– Ovids story of Pygamalion
– Creates a women made of ivory, falls in love
with her
– she becomes alive after his kiss
– He had no interest in real women
– Saw an opportunity of no life with celibacy

be an
answer to loneliness.”

relationship with a real human

victims & disabilities
– Use psychiatrists therapeutic
treatment

6. Seen as virtual reality and robotics

– But seen as robotic prostitution

7. Movies history of Sex Robots

8. GENDER
Sarah Aguilar

9. “We already know porn
provides a terrifying
reflection on how society
views women, which can
manifest itself in real life.
But what happens when
machines start contributing
to the objectification of
women too?”
- Dr Kathleen Richardson
Representation of Gender

10. Uncanny Valley
references the phenomenon
that a computer-generated
figure or humanoid robot
having a near-identical
resemblance to a human being
arouses a sense of unease or
revulsion in the viewer

12. “The attachment a person has
to any object, from simple
dolls to snazzy electronics,
says infinitely more about his
psychological makeup than
the objects”
- David Levi

13. ETHICS

14. "Campaign against sex robots"
“We want to ensure that robotics
develops ethically and that we
do not reproduce inequalities
with their development that
could further reinforce disturbing
human lived experiences. We
oppose any efforts to develop
robots that will contribute to
gender inequalities in society.”

15. A much more disturbing cause:
- prostitution
- sex trafficking
- modern slavery

16. “Reduce the objectification
of women, children and also
men and transgender
people, these robots would
contribute and reinforce
their position in society (as
objects)."

17. There is not a persuasive case for banning sex toys,
whether they are:
*manually
*remotely piloted
*embodied and autonomous.
There is a case for a health warning to ensure people
know about unidirectional emotional bonding. Robots may
be able to perform sex acts today but it may be decades or
centuries before they can return your love.

18. Sex dolls aimed at pedophiles.
The company is selling a 'cheap
beautiful young girl sex doll for
men' which campaign groups
said looks like a child of about
seven.

19. Scarlett Johanson

20. FUTURE

22. The need for a human partner is less and less
Dr Ian Pearsons, futurologist, predicts that
by 2025 we will start to see humanoid robots
in high income households and by 2050 sex
with robots will be as if not more common
than human-human sex.
The new technology lies in the use
collaboration of traditional gaming and
virtual reality systems – VirtuaDolls
– These game controllers take sensory
levels like touch and feedback to a
new level.

23. RealDoll
RealDoll has been creating realistic silicon dolls for
over 20 years, but with the collaboration with Robotix
Project they created the first animatronic Realdoll
head.
Capabilities:
– Neck articulation
– Facial expression
– Moving eyes
– Ability to lip sync with spoken audio-
transferred by the Harmony app via Bluetooth
– Engineered to fit most existing Real Doll body
types
– Priced at $10,000 and plans to be released at
the end of 2017

24. This artificial intelligence application is a downloadable yearly
subscription for $20 .
Users are able to create a customizable 3D avatar with the ability to
work alone, with the robotic head dolls, or connect to the virtual
reality platform.

25. Where the future lies, but is unknown
- Health care implementation
- Human trafficking reduction rates
- Human interaction- where is the line drawn?
