While making an animated war movie featuring armies of battling robots, filmmaker Michael Sullivan began to get a new idea: His film should feature non-stop robot sex.

The Sex Life of Robots centers around a robot baby and his mother scanning their home computer for porn. It shows -- in graphic detail -- the scenes of robot coitus that pop up on their screen. "It's supposed to be like a silent robot porno movie from another planet," Sullivan explains. Despite the subject matter, Sullivan's creation exhibits a high degree of artistry.His eye for detail gives his movies a gritty, industrialized atmosphere, as you can see in this preview Sex Life of Robots. Warning: the video is not safe for work (NSFW).

His eclectic background includes making rubber roach suits for a made-for-TV horror movie (canceled by NBC), building puppets and sets for indie films, photographing then-budding rock star Deborah Harry for underground mags in the 1970s and art-directing high-concept porno movies. Some of Sullivan's robot sex dioramas are on display this week at Manhattan's Museum of Sex.
