A sex doll was so heavily molested by eager men it broke before anyone could actually use it. Or use it privately, anyway.
We're not entirely sure what happened to 'Samantha'. But its owner complained that the £3,000 robot was left "heavily soiled" after being exhibited at a tech fair.
Developer Sergi Santos, from Barcelona, Spain, says visitors to the Arts Electronica Festival in Linz treated the 'intelligent' sex doll "like barbarians", and added that two fingers were broken in the melee.
"The people mounted Samantha's breasts, her legs and arms," Sergi said. "Two fingers were broken. She was heavily soiled."
Sergi added that the robot had to be sent back in a parcel to Barcelona for repairs and cleaning after being left so filthy and broken by the never-ending male attention.
But said: "Samantha can endure a lot, she will pull through."
Not sure I could get a 3,000 pound robot up to my 3rd floor walk-up...

Somewhat selfcleaning could be solved with a decent waterproofing of internals and an "overall" and that you just out it all in a bathtub, hook up hoses to overall and inlet in doll (with proper design you coukd make this like an enena and then just rinse for a while and let it drain. Bonus if you also have an airflow machine to dry it all (even better it if has an automatic Y-valve that switches between water/air/off as source).
For partial participation I guess the easiest would be to have it selfstabilise/selfrighting/return-to-default (hello servo-motors) when on all fours.
Actually seems like fun engineering to kill off a few afternoons.

A quick look in an english to english dictionary tells me "jumpsuit" would have been a bettee choice of word for overall/coverall/jumpsuit
