A robotics expert has predicted that sex robots will reach a whole new realm of realism in 2017.

David Levy claims that this new generation of robot will have ‘human-like’ genitals and will even be able to generate its own body warmth.

Writing in the DailyMail, Levy goes on to explain that a number of different fields in robotics are reaching critical points where sex robots can finally start to achieve many of the aims that their creators have for them.

“With Far Eastern manufacturers already creating machines of astonishingly accurate appearance, the first commercially available sex robots are now expected to go on sale next year.” he writes.

While companies like RealDolls are capable of creating highly detailed, and anatomically correct, models they lack some features which Levy believes will be crucial to the success of the industry.

“I’ve no doubt some will find it creepy, but we can be clear on this: the arrival of sexually responsive robots will have enormous consequences.”

Levy’s argument isn’t entirely without reason, just recently it was revealed that an increasing number of people were turning to AI assistants like siri and trying to engage in conversations  with them of a sexual nature.
