Oh! Gizmo

By Evan Ackerman

Next door to CES is the Adult Entertainment Expo, and as a journalist, it’s my obligation to go. And I heard that the world’s first sex robot was going to be making its (her?) debut. On Friday I spent about 10 minutes interviewing the CEO of True Companion about the robot to get an overview and some background, and we’ve been promised a live demo today.

We’ve got a video after the break that’s probably NSFW, since it shows a scantily clad (but not naked) android and there is some mild discussion of sex. I’d probably call it PG-13, but certainly not R or X. If this type of thing bothers you, no worries, just skip this post.

Here are the facts from the press release:

-Roxxxy TrueCompanion is anatomically consistent with a human

-She can hear you, speak to you, feel your touch, carry on a conversation, and have an orgasm

-Artificial intelligence engine lets Roxxxy learn your likes and dislikes

-Comes preloaded with 5 separate girlfriend personalities, including:

-Frigid Farrah (reserved and shy)
-Wild Wendy (outgoing and adventurous)
-S&M Susan (“ready to provide your pain/pleasure fantasies”)
-Young (“she is oh so young (barely 18) and waiting for you to teach her”)
-Mature Martha (“she is very experienced and would like to teach you”)

-You can design your own personality profiles and share them online

I’m not really sure what I can possibly add to that, so here’s the interview:

If you have questions, now’s the time, we’ll pass them on to Douglas (the guy in the video).
