Robotics and artificial intelligence expert Professor Rodney Brooks recently claimed that it is inevitable that such technologies will be used by the sex toy industry :
“Every technology that we’ve had, there has been a sexual driver of it…I mean, that’s certainly true of photographs in the 19th century; and home video players were really driven by sex; and of course the web has been a major source of sex. Yeah, there will be (sexbots) but it is not specific to robots per se.
..there will be robotic sex toys, remote presence sex where someone is controlling a robot and stuff.”
