Dystopian humanoid ‘robot girlfriend’ ‘built for intimacy’ now available to buy for $175,000
Robotics company Realbotix has shown off their new top of the line humanoid models that are here to provide customers with dystopian humanoid ‘robot girlfriends’, giving a somewhat eerie look into the future.
Robots are certainly no new revelation as they’ve been depicted for years in films and even made their way into our lives in various forms, but the arguably dystopian dreams of some are beginning to become reality with the rise of complex artificial intelligence and advanced technology.
We’ve had AI-powered robots sell artwork for over $1,000,000, and marvelous videos of Tesla tech stumbling into a human-like manner, but the next steps are closer than we might think.
Futuristic media has always dipped its toes into the notion of robotic romance, but tech company Realbotix might just have made the first steps into bringing this mechanical intimacy into the real world.
Their top of the line model – named Aria – will set you back around $175,000, and features a somewhat ‘realistic’ humanoid that’s certainly feature-packed.
From a mechanical perspective the robot has what Realbotix call ‘Advanced Body Mobility’ which affords a wide range of motion and ‘more humanlike’ physical gestures which all help break down the barriers between Aria and its user.
