HARMONY
MATT MCMULLEN (USA)
Does a robot make for an ultimate perfect partner? And why do we want to perfectly replicate ourselves in robot form?
Harmony is one of the world's most advanced robotic companions. A sex robot that you can customize to look exactly how you want it to look. Your choice of perfect eyes, perfect hair, perfect nipples, among many more features. Complete with facial expressions and movements, Harmony communicates via an AI system that includes multiple personalities and a face that will never age. Both male and female robots are proposed to be manufactured, with increasing interest in multi-gender options. As science fiction becomes reality, will more people develop intimate relationships with robots? And what will be the social consequence of such companionships? Ask Harmony what she thinks.
