Topic: Realdoll

RealDoll has rebranded as Real Robotics, integrating AI and animatronics into their high-end sex dolls. A KPIX news report featured "Brick," a man who owns five dolls and is eager for an AI version that can "respond." The technology includes an app that allows users to customize a digital personality, which then syncs with the physical robot's head to simulate companionship.

Professor Noel Sharkey of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics has released a report titled "Our Sexual Future with Robots," calling for a ban on sex robots designed to look like children. The discussion highlights companies like Abyss Creations and their upcoming AI-enabled doll, Harmony, while questioning the legal status of such devices in Canada and their potential use in therapy for sex offenders.
