The doll, dubbed Samantha, was presented on camera in Barcelona on Thursday and is said to respond to being touched in different areas of her body.

One of the doll’s creators, Sergi Santos, explained her functions, saying she was designed to be interactive.

“Basically, she likes to be touched,” he said. “She has different modes of interaction: she has romantic, she has family and she has sexy modes.”You can touch in the hips, in the arms… she likes to be kissed.

“She also responds to the G spot and the breasts.”She can also respond to the hands. The hands are romantic.”The spots she feels sexy are the mouth and the G spot.”

He said she interacted in a progressive from romantic right through to sexual.

“The final objective of the sexual mode is to get her to get orgasm,” he said.
