Samantha, the famous sex robot from creator Dr. Sergi Santos, has been given a major upgrade. She is now able to refuse sex from her human partner if shes not in the mood or is feeling disrespected.
The latest upgrades were demonstrated to a panel of sexperts at the Life Science Center in Newcastle, England.
The upgrade will allow Samantha to enter dummy mode, an unresponsive state, due to a variety of reasons including an overly aggressive partner. She can also enter this mode if she feels bored with her partners attentions.
Samantha is meant to be a realistic partner. She has motorized hands, hips, and a motorized face which can whisper endearments to her partner if properly stimulated. In addition to her sex mode, she also has modes for family and romantic as well as settings for an extra naughty level.
This new dummy mode might offer an opportunity for male users to learn a thing or two about consent and respecting ones partners, but there remains one glaring difference between Samantha and real-life women: while she possesses the ability to shut down when shes feeling disrespected, she does not possess the ability to fight back and there are no repercussions for partners who ignore her protests.
