Sex robots modeled on celebrities are set to take the world by storm, a leading expert has warned.
Leaps in technology have meant that even more shockingly realistic mechanical lovers will soon be on the market.
Experts in the field of robotics have now revealed that the next logical step is for designers to create sex robots to look exactly like your favourite celebrities.
David Levy, author of "Love and Sex with Robots", said the demand was “absolutely” there.
The expert is convinced the sexy cyborgs would fly off the shelves.
He told the Daily Star Online: “You can imagine people saying, ‘I’ve got a sex robot who looks like Angelina Jolie and she’s fabulous in bed!’”
But any attempt to create a robot – for seedy purposes or otherwise – based on someone else’s likeness could land you in trouble if you don’t have their consent.
Designers would have to get the green light from any celebs before creating a robo-concubine that looks like them.
