>Question: how much closer are we to having sex robot girlfriends that can simulate genuine companionship?Question is the beginning of the scientific method.
>ResearchResearch is the next formulation of the method. We can look at a few domains needed to fulfill the question. Those domains are:
* Mechanical, Material, and electronic engineer
* Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Of the first domain, we can be assured that all of the needed physical properties of a robot are in place with todays technology and industry. You can buy a robotic sex doll now. The mechanical limitation in current products would be proper placement of servos, joints, and sensor feedback loops to allow for bipedal movement driven by proper software.
The software limitation of proper bipedal movement and artificial intelligence is the current bottleneck for commercial sex bots fulfilling the question.
>HypothesisCurrent commercial and prototype sex robots cannot become a suitable companion until commercial advances in Bi Pedal movement and artificial intelligence allows for viability.
>Additional Research and TestingThis would require additional research to see where companies currently are in tackling commercial viability of bi pedal processes and artificial intelligence and then attempting to find a pattern between availability of the technology and the time of adoption by the sex robot industry. These sub questions allow for a fuller response.
>ConclusionHere we would summarize that sex robots currently not viable as companions due to limitation of realistic locomotion and artificial intelligence. The time aspect would be based on projections of current research in those fields independent of the sex industry and the time it takes for sex robot manufactures to adopt new technology. The time is based on commercial viability and technological advancement.
