A WORLD leading cyborg developer has vowed to sell his hyper-realistic sex robots in adult shops across the globe despite stark warnings his creations could be a danger to society.

Sergi Santos is the Barcelona-based developer behind a romantic sex robot named Samantha that likes to be touched.

An extraordinary video revealed by Daily Star Online shows how his artificially intelligent (AI) fembot can feel pleasure and orgasm if in the mood.

Mr Santos, 38, showcased Samantha along with other creations that can talk at the worlds first try before you buy exhibition in his home city.

Now, three months on, the scientist has exclusively revealed his plans to sell his very human sex robots in X-rated shops across the world.

Can you tell the difference between these dolls and real girls?

Mr Santos has signed a deal with a factory in China to produce his cyborgs en masse and ship them to sex shops in every major city on a global scale, he explained.

His deal with the factory could see sex robots flood adult shops within 30 to 50 days as it will allow him to produce a minimum of 50 a week.

It means his sex robots could hit the shelves in adult stores and seedy red light districts up and down the UK from Londons Soho to Glasgow city centre.

Sergi shared a picture of one of the new proptype models being considered for production with Daily Star Online.

He said they will cost around 3,000 ($3,923) when they go to retail.

What we will have will be completely exact to a human's behavior and looks.

He spoke of his plans amid a storm of alarming warnings from academics and religious groups concerning the dark side of sex robots.

A recent report from the Foundation for Responsible Robotics raised concerns that the growth of lifelike sex robots could pose a danger to women and children.

The author of the report, Professor Noel Sharkey, said submissive sex robots could encourage sickening sex crimes including abuse, rape and paedophilia.

The Salvation Army has also warned that the rise of sex robots could fuel demand for people trafficking in the UK.

In some countries primarily Japan sex robots are being marketed as potential cure for paedophiles and rapists.

But ethics expert Sharkey, from the University of Sheffield, has called for a ban on sex dolls and robots that resemble children over fears sex crimes could become more acceptable.

A sex doll (also love doll or blow up doll) is a type of sex toy in the size and shape of a sexual partner for aid in masturbation. We take a look at the most life like dolls available in the world.

Sergi has challenged Sharkey, insisting it is too early to make such statements without sufficient research.

He said: It is dangerous now to say: 'no to sex robots' or 'yes to sex robot.

"It is time to think and debate openly rather than argue with absolute statements.

"Only after the revolution is gone, and sex robots are established in our society, statements will be strong enough to be given I think."

He also disagrees with Prof Sharkey on the issue of sex robots being able to feel emotions and love humans.

Mr Sharkey the head judge of TV show Robot Wars said sex robots dont have any emotions and are a a pretty poor reflection of a human.

But Mr Santos said that the professor has glossed over the real evidence.

He told Daily Star Online: Some state that machines cannot love, others that they can only simulate feelings. Such comments are, at most, pseudo-scientific.

There is no single law of nature that says anything about emotions being exclusive of naturally evolved creatures.

My robot at the moment is extremely simple to a certain extent.

But it is clear to anybody that knows about how computation evolves, will see what I have done as completely ridiculous compared to what we will have.

What we will have will be completely exact to a human's behavior and looks.

This will happen as long as we allow ourselves and we choose to do it, i.e. no laws make it illegal.

SERGI SANTOS

Computing philosopher and scientist Dr. Jordi Vallverd told Daily Star Online that more research needs to be done before sex robots are banned or approved to treat sex offenders.

The academic, from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, said Sharkeys analysis of sex robots is flawed and based on Christian-Western prejudices.

He said: Robots should not reproduce wrong behavior patterns, like child abuse.

But at the same time it is certain that we allow our kids to play at very violent videogames, killing people as a fantasy without considering the necessity of forbidding these games.

Obviously both situations should be banned, but at the same time the possible role of specific sexual dolls from a psychiatric perspective should be seriously evaluated before being banned or allowed.
