ROBOT strippers are finally here, but we are not sure quite why or who wished for them either.

The exotic dancers have “gatecrashed” the world’s leading electronics consumer show CES 2018 in Las Vegas to show that robots really are coming for our jobs, every single one of them.

The gyrating, pole dancing feminine replicants who provocatively mimic moves made by their human cousins have made their debut this week at Sapphire Las Vegas, which bills itself as the world’s largest gentleman’s club.

The Consumer Electronics Show is currently being held across Las Vegas.

The robo-dancers are the creation of British artist Giles Walker. He designed the humanoid machines both as an art project and “a protest about surveillance, power and voyeurism”.

The robots have heads made from jettisoned surveillance cameras and body parts from mannequins and car spares.

“I wanted to do something sexy with rubbish,” Walker said.

Peter Feinstein, the club’s managing director, said he invited Walker’s robots to add variety at a venue popular with visitors to the annual Consumer Electronics Show.

“This is our 18th year for the club, and we felt we needed to come up with something new and unique,” he said.

“It used to be just nerds. But we wanted something more creative that would appeal to both men and women.

“These robots are interesting because of the technology, and they’re a lot of fun. They really are art pieces, originally.”
