Keep track of improvements and developments, I suppose.
Maybe like a consumer report.

I don't know.
Maybe this forum comes closest to that.

Actually,

It seems are a variety of academic and other groups studying "human-robot sexual interactions" (to put it official-like).

plus follow the links from

http://www.spurtbot.com/

There's a journal of human robot interactions....

Robots are a technology mentioned on singularity-related websites.

There's a lots of progress happening and in the next few years, it seems likely to increase.

I'm sure there are plenty of people and organizations devoted to tracking advancement in robotics (though I don't know any specific names).

I don't think there are any doing it in the ASFR department, though.

David Levy wrote "Love And Sex With Robot". He's an internationally known expert on artificial intelligence as well as a chess expert (he was known for offering a prize for the first computer to beat him in chess). I got his link from Spurtbot.

I'm not sure how close a researcher would have to come to be in the ASFR department but a lot of the robots researchers are working very specifically on sexbots, how to make them convincing, their implications and their desirability. Many, likely the majority, of these sexbots will be female. This seems pretty to the department at least.

And the progress is coming faster and faster currently. We now have crudely walking, talking, grasping and fucking robots. These skills will be integrated and perfected over time. As a market develops, the progress will ramp-up even more.

This is the only cheery prospect in an otherwise rather bleak world.

If an android falls in a factory and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?

Ah, yes. I forgot about David Levy. "Love and Sex With Robots" is a really interesting book, by the way.

Not a bad idea...

the national security agency (NSA), the US Military, and the central intelligence agency (CIA) are no doubt doing research in advanced robotics research and AI
