An international conference on sex with robots, which was once banned by Malaysia, is to be hosted by a London University.
Top academics in the field of robotics and human-computer interaction will come together at Goldsmiths University, south east London, to discuss the future of artificial sex.
Goldsmiths computing lecturer Dr Kate Devlin – whose controversial essay ‘In Defence of Sex Robots’ has been read by half a million people worldwide – is hosting the event
The expert believes interest in the field of human-computer interaction is on the rise, with film, TV and even academic debate turning its attention to the human relationships with technology
She speak at the two-day event, the International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots, along with other academics and industry professionals.
Sessions are planned on humanoid robots, robot emotions and personalities, teledildonics (cybersex toys), intelligent electronic sex hardware, entertainment robots and more.
Research presented at the congress will be reviewed and compiled into a special issue of the journal Computer Science
The lecturer agreed to host the conference after it was banned from Malaysia for being “illegal”, according to BBC reports.
