Henry the robot is ready to save women from loneliness. What is the demand for sex robots
Take out the garbage, and a song to sing: the American company Realbotix presented first sex robot for women by the name of Henry. It can maintain a friendly conversation and even read poetry. Vladislav Victorov and Lilia Ponomareva find out what is the meaning of “life” Henry.
Robot Henry is ready to make his mistress the compliment, to discuss her favorite TV shows or movies, to quote love songs. If needed, a mechanical one can offer to take out the garbage (but only offer).
Henry is a young man with a sports figure, the skin feels indistinguishable from the real — even the temperature is the same. The growth of the robot — about 180 centimeters, but at the customer’s request it can be changed, as well as the size of hands, feet and other body parts. The developers assure that its primary function — a sexual partner — he copes.

“In retail, the price of a doll “female” starts from 1 million rubles. To increase the exchange rate, we bought two of these dolls, they cost twice less at the time.

Henry will cost approximately $15 thousand Price depends on the configuration. As stated at the presentation of the developers, the main mission of the sex robot to save women from loneliness. However, this method is more suitable for people in Asian countries, says psychologist Ekaterina Lebedeva. According to her, Russian women are the one talking is not enough:
