HONG KONG: The burgeoning development of artificial intelligence has found a sultry new frontier in the sex robot industry, as a Chinese company unveils a new series of realistic dolls designed to respond like humans. Currently, the AI sex dolls are only available for sale in overseas markets, but they could be launched in the Chinese market very soon. With an eye on customer desires, it produced its first TPE dolls in 2012. "Our customers were keen on buying TPE models of body parts that look and feel human. So we expanded into making TPE sex dolls," Liu said.
