When Roxxy, the first-generation sex robot, becomes available in the market, mobile phones would likely be smarter than her.
Engadget explains this situation to the smartphone makers, which are more capable of manufacturing better sex dolls, would rather concentrate on making smartphones which is a more profitable venture.
The tech website warns that Roxxy, as the pioneer, would likely experience discrimination, misapprehension and abuse. It points out that the robot will be "born into a world where adults and children beat, kidnap and bully robots just because they can."
The website warns that as Roxxy suffers from technical vulnerabilities, bugs and eventually become obsolete, or if the makers become bankrupt and guaranties lapse, she would suffer the fate of other devices that would collect dust in closets or garages.
Another option is she would be sent to China and broken for the robot's components. In this process, parts of her would be landfill material and be add to the global environmental problem.
As a sex partner, Engadget believes some of Roxxy's lovers would develop a deeper connection, while others would just treat her a depository of sperm. At the same time, she would be blamed for destroying relationships and even for sexual addiction, reducing women to objects and encouraging pedophilia.
Ahead of Roxxy's release by manufacturer True Companion, more groups join the growing call to ban sex robots. . The call is expected to be louder when the Second International Conference on Love and Sex with Robots is held in Malaysia in late November, reports the Irish Times.
Dr. Kathleen Richardson, who leads the campaign against sex robots, warns at the Web Summit on Wednesday, "You can't have sex with a machine like you do with a human being ... we're losing our sense of humanity."
