Sex robot inventor says bots will soon have a ‘moral code’

A sex robot inventor has said this creations will soon have a ‘moral code’ which could affect their sex drive.

Catalan engineer Sergi Santos, the inventor behind the Samantha sex robot, says that his bots will become more aroused by people who treat them respectfully.

However, despite a new moral judgement code, the bots won’t have the ability to be put off sex altogether, says Santos. 

Santos told IBTimes that within two to three months, he can make Samantha have a conversation with him and judge his character.

‘She might be able to tell if I’m evil or not,’ he said. 

Currently, the sex bot’s arousal levels are affected by a partner touching her erogenous zones, and she can even reach a simulated orgasm via penetration if she’s aroused enough. 

Santos says he can now make Samantha’s arousal dependent on how good of a person she’s judged her partner to be, and if he’s spent time talking with her. 

Samantha will be able to remember who she is, and how her partner has affected her, the engineer says.

Santos also says that his designs could soon have children with their owners, predicting a future where humans and machines will marry, using technology to create offspring.

He has already begun working on a way to achieve this aim, by blending his mind with that of his creation.

Santos says Samantha has improved his marriage of 16 years to fellow designer Martisa Kissamitaki.

He and his wife work together at their laboratory in Barcelona to create the sex dolls, which cost around $3,542 (£2,700, €3,000) a piece.

Rather than designing machines that can give birth themselves, Santos says he can merge an android’s personality with the characteristics and beliefs of its human partner.

Computer software would then be used to create a new AI brain for the child based on this information, as well as 3D printing schematics for its body.

Speaking to The Sun, Santos said: ‘Using the brain I have already created, I would program it with a genome so he or she could have moral values, plus concepts of beauty, justice and the values that humans have.

‘Then to create a child with this robot it would be extremely simple.

‘I would make an algorithm of what I personally believe about these concepts, and then shuffle it with what she thinks and then 3D print it.

‘That’s it. I 3D print the robot that is the child of me and the robot, I don’t see any complications.’

Silicon Samantha is an AI bot with dark brown hair and piercing green eyes, which Santos claims is even capable of ’emotional closeness’. 

The sex robot also has a fully functional vagina, including a G-spot, according to its Catalan inventor.

Samantha, who speaks in an American accent, is capable of imitating an orgasm when touched in the right way,

It is covered in sensors that respond to human touch and can switch between ‘family’ and ‘sexy’ mode.

Sensors cover the doll’s hips, shoulders, vagina and mouth.

The robot says sexual phrases such as ‘I’m on for you all the time’, ‘nice and gentle’ and ‘now then, what’s next?’.
