Quotes:<br>
Buyers of a robot engineered to be emotionally responsive to humans<br>
have been banned from having sex with it. The creators of the robot<br>
have specified in their user contract that buyers must not use it for<br>
"acts for the purpose of sexual or indecent behaviour."<br>
<br>
Earlier this month a campaign led by experts in robot ethics was<br>
launched calling for an outright ban on sex robots. The authors of the<br>
campaign argued that the creation of sex robots would perpetuate the<br>
"inferiority of women and children" and their perception as "sex<br>
objects".<br>
<br>
And robots capable of satisfying our sexual desires aren't so<br>
farfetched. Sex doll company True Companion is developing a sex robot<br>
that will "always turned on and ready to talk or play". Known as<br>
Roxxxy, the sex robot is due to go on sale later this year.<br>
