Robots created from scrap may not seem like they would make for the sexiest strippers, but one visionary sculptor has made it his mission to create alluring pole-dancers from rubbish.


The android adult entertainers are the creation of a British artist who says they are a comment on the nature of surveillance, power and voyeurism, the Daily Mail reports.


With a head formed from a jettisoned surveillance camera and bodies built using mannequins and car parts, there is little risk of anyone confusing these bots with the genuine article, however.


They were brought in to entertain the crowds descending on Las Vegas this week for the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show.


The robo-strippers were built by Giles Walker, who specialises in constructing machines with the aim of addressing social issues.  


While they may grind and gyrate around a pole with moves like a real stripper, these robotic dancers are unlikely to replace human performers anytime soon.

The bots are currently on display at the Sapphire Gentleman's Club a few blocks off the Vegas Strip. Two robots perform during their on-stage debut

At the club, where human dancers were also performing, the robots got mixed reviews. 'I think it's a good idea,' said one male customer who asked not to be identified, but added that he preferred the real thing

One of the club's dancer's who gave her name only as Rouge said she was not worried about the competition. The Sapphire will host the robotic dancers from January 9 to 13

'Is she (the stripper) the one with the power, or is it the people watching her?' Mr Walker added. Fake bank notes are strapped on a 'stripper robot' as it performs

'By placing the CCTV on the body of a pole dancer I am looking at the relationship of voyeurism and power,' Mr Walker told AAP at the time

They also performed at the Sexpo trade event in Melbourne in November 2016. This image shows two of the robots gyrating on stage
