Poll Suggests New And Exciting Direction For iRobot
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 7 of December , 2009 at 11:06 pm
The Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies fielded a poll last week asking people to respond to the following question: “If you had a personal robot that could do only one thing, which ability would you prefer it to have?” The results, as you can see above, put sexbots in a close second only to house cleaning robots, with everything else notably uninteresting to very many of the 500 respondents.
Personally, I’d like to know why the robot has to be a sex “slave” as opposed to a willing participant in a mutually satisfactory sexual relationship. Also, it’s curious to me that people are equally interested in having a robot that does their work for them, as they are in having a robot that replaces (traditionally) another human. Anyway, we told you so.

Or the traditional party favorite, having sex with your robot while its cleaning house. But I digress….
