Sex robots are humanoid robots with artificial intelligence, designed to interact sexually with humans. They have received much attention in recent discussions about technology, human relationships and the future of human sexuality. The talk will give tentative answers, based on available evidence so far, to two fundamental questions surrounding the topic of human-robot intimate relationships. First, whether intelligent humanoid robots are technologically ready to be our intimate partners. Second, whether humans are ready to accept the idea of developing intimate relationships with robots and how far we have engaged and will engage in such activity. The talk will highlight possible clinical implications of developing such relationship and the importance of a scientific transdisciplinary approach to the study of this topic.
