San Jose Mercury:File this under unique entertainment in Las Vegas. Head to the Consumer Electronics Show, where several robotic exotic dancers are entertaining the crowds.
According to the Daily Mail, The android adult entertainers are the creation of a British artist who says they are a comment on the nature of surveillance, power and voyeurism. These strippers are powered with recovered windshield wiper motors and are programmed to move with the artists sense of feminine style.
Unfortunately, theyre unlikely to be headed to a nightclub near you. While they may grind and gyrate around a pole with moves like a real stripper, these robotic dancers are unlikely to replace human performers anytime soon, the Daily Mail reported.
