	Fritz Lang's 1927 movie ''[[Gallery/Metropolis\|Metropolis]]'' features the first ever female robot to appear on film.

	==Real fembots==		=Real-life fembots=
	The [[Actroid]] ~~is widely~~ considered to be the first real fembot in existence. ~~Animatronic robots~~ have existed ~~in female form~~ for decades, ~~and before that mechanical women had been constructed, but~~ the ~~Actroids were~~ the first ~~of these~~ robots to be interactive~~. Some Actroid~~ models are capable of having simple conversations with humans, such as asking basic questions and giving directions.		The [[Actroid photos\|Actroid]] series of robot may be considered to be the first real fembot in existence. While female-presenting [[Wikipedia:Animatronics\|animatronics]] and other automatons have existed for decades, the Actroid series are some of the first robots to be interactive, with some models are capable of having simple conversations with humans, such as asking basic questions and giving directions.

	~~Recently~~, ~~independent projects such as~~ [[~~Project Aiko~~\|~~Aiko~~]] ~~have been unveiled that appear to build on~~ the ~~idea of interactivity~~. ~~As science marches on~~, ~~existing fembots will only become more advanced~~, ~~and will eventually~~ be able to ~~walk~~, ~~talk~~ and ~~have sex just like real humans~~.		In 2009, the [[HRP-4C photos\|HRP-4C]] was introduced at the CEATEC JAPAN 2009 Festival. Unlike the Actroid series, which are designed to be static, HRP-4C was shown to be able to move around on its two feet, along responding to human speech and displaying facial expressions.

	~~==More examples==~~		In 2018, Abyss Creations, manufacturers of the [[Wikipedia:RealDoll\|Realdoll]] series of [[Wikipedia:Sex doll\|sex dolls]], introduced their [[Gallery/Real Doll\|Realbotix]] project, which combines the Harmony [[Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence\|artificial intelligence]] software with a robotic head. This enables Harmony to speak, emote and respond to sexual activity, making it one of the first sexual robots commercially available.
