AI sex doll market may explode
People have been working to create more human-like physical sex doll companions
For nearly a hundred years, human beings have been working to create more robots similar to humans. Traditional robots are not intelligent, have no senses, and have to work in an enclosed space because machines are prone to injury. With technological innovations, people can already live with companion robots.
How does the companion robot perform?
Is there such a big gap between companion robots and humans? Comparing the capabilities of robots and humans one by one, it is found that machines are far inferior to humans in terms of flexibility and intelligence. In terms of perception, people not only have sight, smell, hearing, but also touch.
Santos develops latest companion robot
Companion robots developed by scientists can be seen to be implanted with AI chips and to “spoil” if they are treated harshly. It seems that with the development of AI, I am afraid that when we ask the robot to do things, it also needs to be sweet to it, and when the customer complains, it will reply: “I just don’t want to cooperate with you.”
The companion robot “Natasha” has sensors installed under its skin, and if it detects that it has been treated violently or disrespectfully, it will go into a “self-closing” state.
Spanish scientist Sergei Santos and his wife Marisa Kissamitaki have developed the companion robot, which has a sensor under its skin that responds to touch. In addition to the confinement mode, this companion robot also has scene settings such as “family”, “romantic”, and can also adjust the level according to the state.
Santos, an electrical engineer studying nanotechnology at the University of Leeds in the UK, implanted an AI chip in his companion robot last April at the suggestion of his wife, Marisa, who he believes saved him and his wife 16 years of life. marriage. Marissa said she didn’t mind Santos having a companion robot. The robot is expected to cost around $5,000, but it’s unclear when mass production will begin.
“Natasha” will have the ability to love, remember past conversations and even sleep, they believe, and wear headphones and a scarf for the companion robot they’ve developed. While Marisa doesn’t mind her husband having a companion robot, Santos said he would be embarrassed if his wife had a male companion robot.
Santos said the companion robot saved his marriage because his life was fulfilled even without much time and space to communicate with his wife. Santos said that if the partners cannot reconcile their feelings, they are likely to divorce.
Future companion robots will have impressive memory capabilities, remembering past conversations. Some experts predict that if the high-tech companion robot is released within a year, hundreds of thousands of people will buy it. It was created to interact and communicate with people, so unlike the usual silicone or TPE sex dolls on the market, these robots are likely to be popular with singles who crave company.
Some manufacturers even describe companion robots as pets, saying companionship is a very important part of them.
The current AI companion robots are more like augmented intelligence or scene intelligence, and true artificial intelligence should be the sum of all scene intelligence. When personal intelligence technology and product modularity are combined, they approach true artificial intelligence.
The market for AI companion robots will explode. In the next decade, current robots will no longer be out of reach. Whether buyers or sellers, as long as they can seize the opportunity and become the pioneers of AI companion robots, there may be unexpected gains.
