SEX robots could soon be “cloned” to look like your dead partner thanks to groundbreaking new 3D scans.

The company has created a flagship model named ‘Stephanie’ which has artificial intelligence capabilities, the Daily Star reports.
Customers are able to modify ‘Stephanie’ to resemble a loved one.
Lux do this by collecting several photos of the individual and by using sophisticated scans print out a 3D model in a “very fine resolution”.
After a mould is created from the 3D model a robotic skeleton is inserted inside.
Nails, eyebrows and lips are then painted on, transforming the robot into a more familiar face.
But the mechanical companions don’t come cheap.
Artists are expected to charge between £3,000 to £7,000 for one scan while the printing is estimated to cost around £2,000.
Lux Botics co-founder Bjorn told the Daily Star: “We can make robots that talk but we have not made robots that truly walk on their own.
“We hope to develop this in the near future. We can make a large number of body parts that can move in a realistic manner.”
He added: “We have so far not made any body doubles but we do offer this choice for customers.”
In December it was reported that robots programmed to pant and groan in bed were being made by a British company.

LoveDolls – which operates out of a huge factory in China – has updated its range of models to make them more realistic than ever.
It has even introduced A.I. heads which mean the robotic beauties can respond to questions and “make sexual noises and facial expressions.”
The futuristic company boasts its dolls – which are heated to body temperature (37c) – can now “move just like real humans”.
