New research on Robotics is the subjec t of a report. According to news originating from Bochum, Germany, by NewsRx cor respondents, research stated, "Depictions of robots as romantic partners for hum ans are frequent in popular culture. As robots become part of human society, the y will gradually assume the role of partners for humans whenever necessary, as a ssistants, collaborators, or companions." Financial support for this research came from Bial Foundation. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Ruhr-University Boc hum, "Companion robots are supposed to provide social contact to those who would not have it otherwise. These companion robots are usually not designed to fulfi ll one of the most important human needs: the one for romantic and intimate cont act. Human-robot intimacy remains a vastly unexplored territory. In this article , we review the state-of-the-art research in intimate robotics. We discuss major issues limiting the acceptance of robots as intimate partners, the public perce ption of robots in intimate roles, and the possible influence of crosscultural differences in these domains. We also discuss the possible negative effects huma n-robot intimacy may have on human-human contact. Most importantly, we propose a new term ‘intimate companion robots' to reduce the negative connotations of the other terms that have been used so far and improve the social perception of res earch in this domain."
