The Perfect Woman?
Geeks of the world, rejoice...now you, too, can build your perfect woman and dispense forever with the hassle of dating, relationships, and forever listening to how she hates the neighbor because she's so skinny...meet Aiko:
If blind dates, speed dating or websites haven't led you to the love of your life, you could always take a leaf out of inventor Le Trung's book - and build your perfect partner.The 33-year-old has created Aiko - a 'twenty-something' robot who not only looks feminine and sexy but also does household chores and his accounts.
But despite her shiny hair and 32-23-33 figure, Aiko - whose name means love child - is no trophy partner.
She is accomplished too with a talent for maths and a 13,000-sentence vocabulary - in English and Japanese. She can also recognise faces, read aloud from a newspaper and give directions.
Aiko, a fembot made from silicone and A.I. technology, is a genuine labour of love for Mr Trung.
He has taken out credit cards and loans, sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting the machine - at a cost so far of £14,000.
The former software programmer, from Ontario, Canada, said he never had time to find a real wife but has not built Aiko as a sexual partner - although she is touch-sensitive and reacts if she is shown affection or is hurt.
Mr Trung said: 'I want to make her look, feel and act as human as possible so she can be the perfect companion.
'Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways. If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell.
'She doesn’t need holidays, food or rest and she will work almost 24-hours a day. She is the perfect woman.'
Hold on...I thought we women did work almost 24 hours a day?
I dunno...it's kind of creepy. You can learn more at her website.
