Social and Sexual Robots: Technological Development, Social Acceptance and Ethical Challenges

Abstract

Japanese society is characterised by a unique technological development and openness to it, which has allowed the development of sexual and social robots. This article provides an overview of the technological development, social acceptance and ethical challenges of passion machines. It presents recent technological advances in the field of intimate robots and analyses their impact on human-machine interaction and individual sexual experiences. In addition, it examines the reactions and attitudes of societies towards these technologies, including acceptance, debates and possible protests. The abstract concludes with a discussion of the ethical issues that arise with the development of this type of technology, and draws attention to the importance of protecting human rights and social norms in this dynamically changing environment.
