researchers the world over are working on humanoid robots machines that resemble people as closely as possible their computer brains capable of artificial intelligence and meant to serve as genuine partners the sex industry in particular hopes intelligent sex robots will be real money makers so far more sex robots have been made to appear female look immaculate and be eager to please but they don't come cheap depending on the features they can cost up to $10000.00 euros what makes them so special. this is one of the 6 industries machine humans it doesn't really seem all that human it's facial expressions are rather limited female robots are called gyno it's their male counterparts androids unlike conventional sex dolls very few sex robots equipped with a i have been sold to private persons these robots have heads with what's called

responsive interface this is where the artificial intelligence is housed that enables the robots are interacting with their environment at a very basic level. engineer said he sent us a barcelona researches with sex robots his machines have sensors that register with the dollies being spoken to or touched. the wrong. data from the centers are processed in an artificial brain the robot then responds with various emotional states friendly. romantic or sexy. most sex robots like these have been shipped to special brothels places selling robot sex are cropping up all around the world one hour with this robot in barcelona cost around $100.00 euros the united states is planning adult entertainment centers that advertise

convincing. to be honest the savings are all quite sad. she looks set to. some say to experience a genuine feeling robots need the ability to experience pain. reflex responses to pain or fear triggered by hormones helped our ancestors survive or we never really able to feel like humans because feelings and emotions are approval of evolution and so we don't mortality with sickness with pain there is no way a machine really feel and really understand what feelings are artificial intelligence can mimic emotions and show proper response it's that does affect the humans present. the robots human like movements create

a stronger bond between human and machine. they see a real problem there i think that we should always be aware computers. and robots. will do what we tell them to them but they shouldn't freak and motions because that can be misleading for the use of. an obligation which will never have the people of the problem complaining for the for the private life just machines and they should be treated the machines. that's a tough statement sure i can agree that 1st and foremost robots are machines but to consider them slaves they do do the work that we ourselves cannot or would rather not do best plenty of examples for that. social and service robots are already on the job and they can be more or less humanoid often they wheel around in the
