Inflatable dolls are so yesterday. Get with the times and get yourself a Roxxxy, the world’s first sex robot.

The dark-haired, negligee-clad, life-size robotic girlfriend comes complete with artificial intelligence and flesh-like synthetic skin. This beauty stands at 5’7, weighs 120 pounds, comes with five different personalities and is ready for any action you throw at her. That means you can choose to spend one night with Wild Wendy, the next with Frigid Farrah and wake up with S&M Susan. Good times.

Douglas Hines, Roxxy’s creator, first came up with the idea of the robot as a tribute to a friend who died in 9/11 (a hell of a way to be remembered!) and who wanted to make a doll that someone could talk and relate to.

Her brains come from a laptop connected to cables coming out of her back, and it can respond to your touch thanks to touch sensors located at strategic locations that can sense when she’s being moved. However, she can’t move on her own, and her sound comes out of an internal loudspeaker.

Roxxxy will run you anywhere from $7,000 to $9,000, which includes the laptop. You can read up all about her at www.truecompanion.com. Look for her in the Barbie section of your local Toys R’ Us in the near future.
