Found this little bit of news over on Drudge Report/The Sun-UK today. First photo is of Roxxy, the other one is suppose to be Mature Martha. Of the two - I think I like Martha the best. While researching this article, the dark haired one was always referred to as Roxxy. But the second picture when I found it attached to a posting about this - it seemed to be in reference to to Mature Martha.
Douglas Hines, the robot's football loving inventor, said the real aim was to make the doll someone the owner can talk to and relate to.
Mr Hines said: "She can't vacuum, she can't cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean.
I have heard of other life-size 'sextoys' that cost as much as this one does, but those other "dolls" did not have the Artificial Intelligence to go with their internal skeleton and life-like skin. And for the ladies/gay men out there, there will be a male version named Rocky. And if you want to know about those "other" dolls, just do your own google search.
UPDATE: Added an additional link to ref section below from article posted on comcast.net. Last paragraph caught my eye and quote: In a 2007 book, "Love and Sex with Robots," British chess player and artificial intelligence expert David Levy argues that robots will become significant sexual partners for humans, answering needs that other people are unable or unwilling to satisfy.
