You could be looking at the ultra-realistic and creepy future of sex dolls. A new'companion robot' made its debut at a major tech event in Vegas this week, sporting perfectly shaped breasts, a pert buttocks, thick lips and features of a youthful 20-something. Its creators, Realbotix, claim the 175,000 bot is to keep elderly gentlemen from being lonely. Asked why it had been shaped in an appealing way, the creators said it was because men wanted something nice to look at. Dressed in a black tracksuit, when asking the robot questions it gives long responses while having slightly jerky hand and body movements.

The creators of a lifelike "sexy robot" were left red-faced when a technical glitch captured on CNBC led the android to claim it will "destroy humans." David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, was demonstrating "Sophia" at the South by Southwest (SXSW) technology show in Texas when the slip-up occured . After jokingly asking "do you want to destroy humans?...Please say'no'," Hanson was answered by the unblinking machine. It's a far cry from the actual reason Hanson Robotics is developing the lifelike Androids. According to the company, the'bots will serve in theme parks and care facilities to assist people in both customer service and health treatment.
