Commander Data, call your office: a German aircraft mechanic claims he has created the world's most sophisticated robot sex doll.
"They are almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing," says Michael Harriman to Ananova.com about the dolls he plans to sell under the name “Andy," "but I am still developing improvements and I will be only happy when what I have is better than the real thing."
Whether robotic sex ever eclipses the real thing may be open to debate, but Harriman claims his erotic androids have hearts beating harder than real people during sex, as well as breathing harder and including internal heaters, although their feet stay cold.
With silicon skin developed for surgical use, the erotic android can be made to move by remote control, swiveling her hips under bedclothes and making other suggestive movements at the touch of a button, Harriman says.
But they are rather expensive, even if Harriman claims they’re an improvement on the "real dolls" becoming popular in America: the Andy brand erotic androids sell for about $7,600 each.
