From Austin Powers to Subservience, sex robots have been staple features of blockbusters for decades.
But the unusual devices are slowly but surely becoming more mainstream, with human-robot sex even predicted to become more common than human-human by 2050.
Now, a Chinese company has unveiled its latest model - and it's one of the strangest we've seen yet.
Ridmii, a company based in Dongguan City, has created a range of sex robots that can be controlled remotely.
The doll syncs up to an app via Bluetooth, where the person in control can manage everything from squeezing to thrusting, and even moaning.
'It bridges the gap between physical intimacy and digital interaction in an interesting way,' a Ridmii spokesperson told Sex Tech Guide.
'We're excited about how it might fit into the broader conversation around interactive pleasure tech.'
However, the app-controlled sex robot comes at a hefty price - with buyers facing a $1,899 (£1,400) bill for the doll alone.
The app-controlled doll comes in 22 varieties, which are all priced at $1,899 (£1,400).
Users can choose between dolls with different skin tones, hairstyles, and eye colours, or even opt for one designed to resemble an elf.
However, what really sets these dolls apart from other sex robots is the option for control via an app.
The app, called Mutuafun, is available on the App Store and Google Play Store, and connects to the doll via Bluetooth.
'With this App, you can enjoy the endless pleasure in any place and any time to explore more thrilling experiences,' the description on the App Store reads.
Once the doll has been synced with the app, users are prompted to create a 'room' where they can invite up to 10 members - who can all control the bot.
Ridmii boasts of 10 vibration modes, 10 sucking modes, and six sound modes.
'Choose the vaginal vibration, sucking and sound mode you want to interact with the doll,' it explained in a video.
In addition, the app features a chatroom where the 10 members can interact during sessions.
While Ridmii hopes the sex robot will serve as a fun prop for couples, cybersecurity experts have raised concerns about the safety of connected sex robots.
Speaking to MailOnline, Jake Moore, Global Cybersecurity Advisor at ESET, said: 'Regardless of what IoT [Internet of Things] is designed for, such devices could be created with security or privacy flaws which could either be harmful or be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.
'Sexbots could, therefore, carry these risks but particularly in the areas of data privacy and hacking via any software vulnerabilities.
'These devices could even be targeted as they are potentially designed to collect highly sensitive personal information which could be used to blackmail users if not properly secured.
'Furthermore, sophisticated attackers could theoretically remotely control the robot or even use it as a surveillance tool inside a home similar to other IoT devices designed with poor security.'
