MAASTRICHT, Netherlands, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The University of Maastricht in the Netherlands is awarding a doctorate to a researcher who wrote a paper on marriages between humans and robots.

David Levy, a British artificial intelligence researcher at the college, wrote in his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners," that trends in robotics and shifting attitudes on marriage are likely to result in sophisticated robots that will eventually be seen as suitable marriage partners.

Levy's conclusion was based on about 450 publications in the fields of psychology, sexology, sociology, robotics, materials science, artificial intelligence, gender studies and computer-human interaction.

The thesis examines human attitudes toward affection, love and sexuality and concluded that the findings are just as applicable to human interaction with robots of the future as they are to the relationships between humans of today.

So I could've gotten a doctorate if I had written a book about my previous marriage?

Imagine the multi-tasking opportunities. It would be perfect for doctors and scientists. It could replace several people, computers, and bottles of KY at the same time.

I'd totally hit that robot from Small Wonder.

Do you think with AI we will have robots that bitch? That would suck to buy a robot for sex and then have to listen to its problems all the time....its like being with a real chick

Well, if this happens, we're lucky they've already invented universal remote controls.

Well, if this happens, we'll have to hope that robots also succumb to Oprah and bon-bons.
