“Hi my name is Samantha, I love you, a lot!” For an opening line
that’s a little forward, but that’s what the sex robot I met in a
workshop at the Barcelona home of sex tech engineer Dr Sergi Santos said
when I first "met" her.
“I’m basically the Robin Hood of sex because I give to the poor.
Men need sex and I just give it to them,” Dr Sergi told me as he showed
his latest creations.
Samantha is a life-like doll made of a material that feels like
skin, she’s anatomically correct, if not a little enhanced in some
areas. It seems customers want their sex robots to have, shall we say, exaggerated figures.

Dr Sergi has also put sensors under the skin so she reacts to
touch. Stroke her gently on the arm and she’ll suggest getting intimate.
The real development, according to Dr Sergi, is concealed in the back
of her head, under a wig.
Artificial intelligence which allows the robot to talk to their
owner. To be honest, conversation can be a little stilted with some
awkward silences between me asking a question and getting a reply.
“It’s because she doesn’t know you,” Dr Sergi explains. He claims
that the technology he’s putting into sex dolls allows them to "learn"
what the customers want and like, ultimately build a relationship.
The robots are still pretty basic, they don’t have facial
expressions, their mouths don’t move when they speak. What Dr Sergi has
done is essentially put the same type of technology which brought us
Siri and Amazon’s Alexa into a sex doll.
