The world’s first life-size robot girlfriend, named Roxxxy, was introduced at an adult Expo in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 9th. The life like doll is the brain child of Douglas Hines who is the president of True Companion, the company that designed Roxxxy. True Companion has been working on a robotic, life like companion robot since 1983, according to the company’s website.
True Companion’s first robotic companion was designed in 1983 and was named Trudy. Hines admitted that Roxxxy is the result of 20 years of improvements since Trudy’s introduction. The new companion robot is anatomically correct with an articulated skeleton, flesh like skin, and even a mechanical heart that powers the robot’s cooling system. Hines and his team at True Companion did their best to create an artificial intelligence that was as life like as possible. Roxxxy is 5?7? tall, weighs 120lbs, and has a full C cup.
According to Hines, Roxxxy was developed to be a companion. “She’s a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you. She speaks. She feels your touch. She goes to sleep. We are trying to replicate a personality of a person”, Hines said. Speaking to Roxxxy’s other abilities Hines was quoted as saying, “She can’t vacuum, she can’t cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean.”
I guess we could see this coming years ago!
