New Materials and Technologies
CybOrgasMatrix dolls used an innovative material—a very elastic gel with a strong shape memory, which they have shown in side-by-side tests is superior to silicone in elasticity, shape memory, and durability. Additional options listed on the company's website at one time included a pelvic thruster motor and audio capability (using wireless headphones). Similarly, the First Androids company once offered a wide range of options to enhance the realism of its dolls, including heated orifices. Several modern doll manufacturers now offer this option on their silicone dolls, with the addition of an internal heating system.
In June 2006, Henrik Christensen of the European Robotics Research Network told the UK's Sunday Times that "people are going to be having sex with robots within five years."

Famous quotes containing the word materials:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
