Sex robot
Sex robots, also known as sexbots, are anthropomorphic robotic sex dolls that display human-like movement or behavior and incorporate varying degrees of artificial intelligence.[1][2] As of 2026[update], although elaborately instrumented sex dolls have been created by a number of inventors, no fully animated sex robots yet exist. Current prototypes are rudimentary in nature but have demonstrated the capacity to articulate spoken language, display facial expressions, and respond to tactile stimuli.[3][4]
The ethical implications of developing such technology remain a subject of considerable controversy and debate both pro and con.[5][6][7] The ethical implications, the impacts on intimacy, and the potential regulatory framework surrounding these practices have been subjects of considerable debate.
