Pole-dancing robots appear in Las Vegas to spice up CES

Robots created from scrap may not seem like they would make for the sexiest strippers, but one visionary sculptor has made it his mission to create alluring pole-dancers from rubbish. The android adult entertainers are the creation of a British artist who says they are a comment on the nature of surveillance, power and voyeurism. With a head formed from a jettisoned surveillance camera and bodies built using mannequins and car parts, there is little risk of anyone confusing these bots with the genuine article, however. They were brought in to entertain the crowds descending on Las Vegas this week for the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show. They may grind and gyrate around a pole with moves like a real stripper, but these robotic dancers are unlikely to replace human performers anytime soon.
