Just when you thought it was advanced computer systems and the military that were out to get us, it turns out that sex robots - the very machines designed to give us pleasure - could be about to kill us too.
Sex robots have been with us for quite a few years now and they have already attracted their fair share of warnings and controversy.
However, a warning from Dr Nick Patterson, a cybersecurity lecturer at Deakin University, Australia has to be the starkest yet.
He believes that in the future sex robots could be easier for hackers to access and control than a laptop or a mobile phone.
From there these remotely controlled cyborgs could be used for all sorts of nefarious means such as violence and murder.
...
Dr Patterson goes on to add that - like smartphones - robots will need an operating system that will need to be connected to the Internet, making it easier to hack into.

So could a sufficiently hacked future farming robot, or drywall hanging assistant robot. The first thing taught to me in machine shop was to understand that the machines can kill you.

Variable intensity and duration are needed.
Those knobs have other uses.

It needs internet so it can report on your habits, so you can be provided with targeted marketing. Part of the service.
