Inventor builds She-3PO robot
By CAROLINE IGGULDEN
Published: Today
SHE is the perfect wife, with the body of a Page 3 pin-up and housekeeping skills that put TVs Kim and Aggie to shame.
Her name is Aiko, she can even read a map, and will never, ever, nag.
Sounds too good to be true, doesnt she fellas? And she is.
Aiko is actually a robot, a fantasy brought to life by inventor Le Trung.
So touching ... Aiko reacts to gentle contact wit her inventor
Devoted Aiko in her 20s has a stunning 32-23-33 figure, pretty face and shiny hair.
She is always happy to clean the house for husband Le, help with his accounts or get him a drink.
Computer ace Le, 33, from Ontario, Canada, has spent two years and £14,000 building his dream girl.
He had planned to make an android to care for the elderly.
But his project inspired by sci-fi robots like Star Warss C3PO strayed off-course.
Le said: Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty.
Robo-wife Aiko starts the day by reading Le the main newspaper headlines.
The couple often go for a drive in the countryside, where Aiko proves a whizz at directions.
And they always sit down for dinner together in the evening, although Aiko doesnt have much of an appetite.
Le says his relationship with Aiko hasnt strayed into the bedroom, but a few tweaks could turn her into a sexual partner.
Le said: Her software could be redesigned to simulate her having an ****.
Aiko can already react to being tickled or touched. She also recognises faces and speaks 13,000 sentences.
Now Le is seeking a sponsor to help him overcome the robot-makers biggest challenge making Aiko walk like a human.
Once Aiko has been perfected, Le hopes to sell clones for use as home-helps.
He said: Aiko doesnt need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.
Aiko sparks mixed reactions in public.
Le said: Women usually try to talk to her. But men always want to touch her, and if they do it the wrong way she slaps them.
There are a ton of pictures and some video on the site. Too much to transfer over here.

Looks like there's something setup in that video. When she is following the eye-glasses, I'd swear she was ahead of the 'inventor'. It looks like she was just moving in a preset pattern and the 'inventor' was simply moving the eyeglasses to match her movements.
And the motorized movements of the mouth when reading was awful and distracting.
Just my opinion, but I'm going to say its bogus.____________________

I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

Cracked, man that brings back memories.
I like this:
"Albert Hubo was built to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. And what better way to honor such a brilliant and gentle human being than by building a recreation of his head and bolting it to a cartoonish Korean robot in order to impress convention-goers. It was kind of like honoring Gandhi's lifetime of achievements by digging up his corpse and sewing his decomposed face onto a Transformer so it can dance for nickels outside of the arcade."Wristwatch--->Crisco -

"Tweaks " my ****, I am betting he developed the special software first, or he wouldnt have even mentioned that capability whatsoever in a serious article that also mentions helping the elderly...getting a drink and cleaning house.
I would have to agree, she is very creepy and sad at the same time...with as many living breathing humans on this planet we should be able to take care of the elderly a whole lot better then this ( As long as I am breathing , my parents will never see the inside of a rest home ) . And if you are blessed to be healthy enough get your own drink or clean your own house....then McDonalds wont be the only reason you get obese.
Whats really creepy is this single sentance in the article..." The couple often go for a drive in the countryside, where Aiko proves a whizz at directions. " :eek:The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club -

That is the creepy and sad part I was referring to.
I think the robot and technology behind it is pretty cool. I think the scientists that spend so much time in the laboratory that they would prefer the touch and companionship of a robot with an outwardly feminine form over the real thing is sad and pathetic.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Seems like an awful lot to go through to AVOID rejection by ACTUAL females.
But, then again.......maybe not?I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -
That thing is covered in DNA.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

I agree with you 100% on that one. Sad and pathetic indeed, I could see a whole new psychoanalysts issues in the future on that one.

Maybe because I am not married (yet), but where's the fun if the wife is basically a slave to the husband?

Heck ...... where's NOT the fun ?!?!
Ah, what a brave new world it would be to have such conveniences.
