A Canadian man, apparently unable to find the perfect woman, has done the next best thing — he's built himself one. Le Trung, a 33-year-old software engineer who lives with his parents in Brampton, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, says he's spent about $20,000 so far on Aiko, a 5-foot-tall female android with clear skin, a slim if shapely figure and a wonderful disposition. • Click here for more photos. "She can recognize faces, she can identify medication, she can even butter your toast," Le Trung tells the Toronto Globe and Mail. Not only that, but Aiko speaks — in both English and, for some reason, Japanese. (Le Trung has a Vietnamese name.) She can also read. "Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty," Le Trung tells the Sun of London. "Aiko doesn't need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman." She still can't walk, however. That will take a lot more work and, Le Trung tells the Globe and Mail, a new round of funding. He hopes to create and sell more pretty female robots in the future.But, ahem, is there more than just companionship involved? "Aiko is still a virgin, AND NO I do not sleep with her," he writes on the Project Aiko Web site, though he admits that she "has sensors in her body including her private parts, and yes even down there."Video

Judgeing from her face, Aiko either has brain damage, a serious case of lazy eye, or shes stoned.
Disguisting.
Replacing a human being that should be right by your side with a robot, because he was apparently unable to find the perfect woman ? People got to have their sanity checked. The technology is quite facinating, but the use is staggeringly wrong and disguisting.
"Aiko is still a virgin, AND NO I do not sleep with her,"
Call bs on that too.
$20,000 plastic robot girl or free appendage.
The choice is yours.
This has "GITS" written all over it. Yet again one more step for AI. Now if the cyber-brain projects would get done then everything would fall into place.
It has begun.

Yes, I said "she."
Edit: Well, I should probably reserve it for now, until they begin to show Independance.

I think I have discovered the root of his problem.
I must admit the technology and the "original" premise which was to help the elderly is a good cause the fact he's just turned it into a wife and I use the term loosely it's personally quite sickening.

Guys, guys, did you hear that? Did you hear that!? *Jumps and giggles in glee*
SHE CAN BUTTER MY TOAST!
In all seriousness, though, commence road to culmination of Operation Black Storm, the four horsemen prepare for the day.
Ermm..................
Crazy Asian-Canadians.
Although I wouldn't mind a toast-buttering robot.

Well, I say what a person does, how he or she leads their life, as long as it's not harming other people, breaking the law or putting other people in that position, let him get on with it.
Bet yes a toast making and buttering robot would be a welcome addition to my kitchen. I wonder if it can handle marmite too?
Aiko is what happens when loser meets nobody.
