The Sexed Robots are autonomous wheeled robots fitted with nylon genital organs, respectively male and female. They are equipped with various sensors, 12 volt motors and an on-board microcontroller "brain". The batteries provide approximately 5 hours of operation. The robots are programmed to explore their environment, occasionally entering an "in-heat" mode, where they will try and locate a partner in the same state. If a partner is located, the robots will attempt to mate.

In a humorous and clumsy fashion the Sexed Robots operate at the border between mammal and machine worlds, being programmed like computers to perform a task that belongs to the highly developed organic forms of the planet. The displacement of a fundamental mammal activity into artificial constructs, combined with the zoo-like presentation, might lead the viewer to think about the place artificial designs occupy in their environment and life, and how far will these constructs assist, improve and eventually replace natural functions.

The Sexed Robots are part of Paul Granjon’s installation Robotarium which was commissioned for the exhibition Somewhere Else, Welsh pavilion, Venice Biennale 2005.
