    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 Wars’s C3PO — strayed off-course.

    I have two robots already. I would love to have one that could bring me a beer.

    Hmm, what's that sound?

    He said: Aiko doesn’t need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.

    Oh, it's the feminist stampede.

    Don't let this guy fool you-he bet his friends he could get an article about his "sex bot" on the international news, and we fell for it!

    Sounds more like a little boy- 42-23-33 would be stunning.

    On the website it says he doesn't "wang on it"

    The AI is amazing though...and it would be so much less disturbing if it didn't look so underage

    That's just weird. She looks way young.

    Yeah... no reason for the thing to look 12 unless, of course, he's a perv...

    Well the guy is asian...have you ever seen any anime? Anyway I've actually met and known quite a few asian girls (dated a few as well) that were into their 20's and still looked like young teens.

    If this guy can pull his E36 M3 together he will be a billionaire. No I'm not talking about sex bots, I'm talking about personal assistance robots and the like. Think about it, have the robot take care of your home, cook meals etc. It would be like having your own personal servent without any of the moral baggage or having to pay them, feed them anything. Give them a closet in the hallway where they can stand on a charging platform and you are good to go...

    I try to avoid it, but point taken. Asian women do generally look on the young side

    Agreed 100%. He just needs to make sure he covers his intellectual property before someone else starts spitting them out before he can go to production with the idea.

    The Roomba has no capacity. It's small to get under and around stuff but can't hold a lot of dirt.

    yeah i have one and everytime id come home the thing had somehow lodged itself in a corner or under table legs and cant find its way back to its base to charge itself. its kinda sad actually how it frantically tries to find a way once its battery starts to die.

    *Le says his relationship with Aiko hasn’t 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 orgasm.”*

    then we would need the PSA from futurama, the one about jimmy and his Marilyn monrobot

    In reply to null:

    Yup, it's them ordering an "Akira" manbot. Some one who will actually listen to them, and date them on their terms.

    Maybe that's what we should channel the auto industry into. As Tim Allen might suggest, "32-23-34? Arrg-arg-arg! More power!"
