The club’s managing partner Peter Feinstein said he was using the robots as bait for many men who will most likely want to see the novelty and perhaps it may also attract women
“We’re appealing to a mass audience who looks on the internet, which we don’t normally do just as a gentlemen’s club,” he told The Daily Beast. “If you’re six people from a company and there are two women and four guys, you can still [come] here and have some fun and see the robots and not feel like you have to be part of a strip club.”

To make the performance even more entertaining, tip buckets were placed on stage with funny notes saying “need money for batteries”, MIT bound. Perhaps they could have also said “won’t wind no grind”. This encouraged men to donate cash to the android grinding girls and their weird camera like faces. Coming to think of it, this would be a great futuristic way for surveillance of criminals as it won’t include any risk of physical harm to a human. Someone may get the idea, who knows.

However, not all guests were pleased with the weird humanoid dancers. Some who preferred the real thing commented: “I just think the robots have awkward movement, no one really moves like that.” But!!With advancing technology, they could be programmed with pole dancing lessons too, wouldn’t that be possible? One patron said “I was hoping for a bit more up and down action than just the hip and grind.”

The robot strippers were seen only for a week at the club but were not regarded as a feature of the CES who took pains in issuing a statement saying that it was not in any way affiliated to the performance of pole dancing robots at the nightclub. Organizers said they do not tolerate inappropriate behavior on convention grounds or at official show events. These were unsanctioned events and not reflective of CES or the general Tech Industry at large. Watch the video below.
