Barcelona-based engineer Sergi Santos has created a robot sex doll that seems to enjoy sex as much as the humans and responds differently according to how she is treated. Samantha, as the doll is called, is equipped with the latest technology, such as artificial intelligence. She likes to be touched and has different modes of interaction, such as a romantic, a family and a sexy mode. In her way of interacting she wants to be touched and kissed on her fully functioning lips, the breasts and vagina to change her mode from family to get to a point where she wants to interact on a sexual level until she even has an orgasm.

The doll’s skin is made from advanced odorless TPE, which feels smooth when touched, and Samantha has a brain that emulates the electrical activity of humans in the sense of excitement. She has an “Evoked Potential” (a sexual one first) to the head. This potential controls how she feels about what is being done with her at a particular moment.

The algorithm used is based on a form of architecture where it will be easy to implement anything else, from cameras and motion to any other improvements that might be needed.

The Plastic Lab

Washed up on our coasts in obvious and clearly visible form, the plastic pollution spectacle blatantly emerging on our beaches is only the prelude to the greater story that has unfolded further away in the world’s oceans, yet mostly originating from where we stand: the land. For more than fifty years, the global production and consumption of plastics has continued to rise. An approximate eight million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans every year, which equals one truck of plastic per minute.

The objective of the Plastic Lab is to develop an artificial, caring intelligence that creates a meta open-source database with all kinds of solutions to address the issue of plastic waste. Information on materials science, recycling technology and business models will be made available at no cost, so that entrepreneurs, designers, engineers and innovators around the world can access this information and apply it in their local context. Let’s solve the century’s challenge of plastic pollution!
