In preparation for the Canada Futurists – Vancouver Chapter meetup on ‘The Future of Love and Sex’ I have been looking at many resources that discuss sex robots. In this time I have come across a number of resources that I wanted to collate and share.

Kate takes to the TEDxWarwick stage to introduce us to human-robot intimacy, its ethical considerations and the limitations of its development.
Dr. Kate Devlin is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work in the fields of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) investigate how people interact with and react to technologies, focusing on cognition, sex, gender and sexuality.
