The journey and its setting
Rafa Goes Around visited Shenzhen’s robotics and AI fair, a showcase of how advanced China has become in robotics. The event featured a variety of robots, from playful to practical. A standout was the panda cub robot, an AI-powered pet that reacts to touch, makes real panda sounds, and can remember reminders via an app—all for $500. More provocative was the sex robot display: highly realistic humanoids with soft skin, visible veins, and the ability to perform all sexual positions. The vendor claimed they can even read emotions and respond accordingly. A versatile humanoid robot with multiple axes of movement could lift 6 kg and navigate spaces using sensors, radar, and lidar.
