Abstract
The publication of the book Love and Sex with Robots, late in 2007 by David Levy, heralded a new era in this somewhat controversial field. Human-robot intimate relationships were no longer pure science fiction but had entered the hallowed halls of serious academic research. Since then, researchers have come up with many implementations of robot companions like sex robots, emotional robots, humanoid robots, and artificial intelligent systems that can simulate human emotions. This book chapter presents a summary of significant activity in this field during the seven years since that publication and predicts how the field is likely to develop.
