The Foundation for Responsible Robotics found there are benefits to the sex bots, especially as ways to help with conditions such as anxiety, but it also urged that they shouldn't be used to ''cure'' paedophiles, the Daily Mirror reports.

Robots currently cost more than £10,000 for latest models and can be customised on the buyers preferences.
