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.
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."

Hmm, reckons he doesn't have sex with it. Bullshit!

She looks like a bit too childlike.

She looks like a bit too childlike.

Ummmm, yeah. I suspect the reason for that is the same reason why a number of the the under-dressed female characters in the Dead or Alive video games have "??" for the ages in the English versions of the games.

He will be a virgin for a long time............unless he sells these things and gets a trophy girl.

 

[Hermiod]

^It's the robot that's the virgin. I don't think he actually gave his status.

We can guess
He will pass 40........

 

[Ethros]

Agreed, she/it does look about 12. Which makes that third picture of her lying in bed with her clothes in a state of distress a bit disturbing

 

[DanCPA]

I don't think she looks like an 11 year old... but this is still disturbing

An interesting euphemism.

I just figured out what's so creepy about it. It's like one of those "Child sized" barbie dolls. Everything is all fake and plasticy and it's a bit smaller so everything screams fake and wrong while also being much smaller so you associate with it a child.

It's comforting to realise that there are people way more pathetic then one self. I mean damn dude, could've least had made it a bit less obvious that you're a lolikon.

 

[Trekker4747]

Pretty messed up, aside from the overly-child like Asian female "design" of the thing.

I mean, I've been lonely for a long time but I'm not about to consider buying a Real Doll or build my own girlfriend.

Sheesh, dude. He has $20,000 to built this thing, he lives with his parents, I'm thinking this guy and his "girl" are going to have each other for a LONG time.

Also interesting to me that for him the "perfect woman" is someone who doesn't need food, rest or sleep and will "work" 24-hours a day.

And won't talk back and have an opinion or needs of her own.

 

[Trekker4747]

What kind of conversations could they possibly have?

"So, Aiko, how was your day?"
"IT. wAS. fiNE. HOW. wAS. YOURS?"
"Well it was OK, today the boss was really ragging on me."
"YES"
"Yeah, he was harping on me to get my stuff done faster..."
"THERE. THERE."

I mean, what could they possibly talk about? And he doesn't have sex with her? That's the two best things about a relationship!

She looks 14 to me

 

[Trekker4747]

She looks 14 to me

She's got great boobs for a 14 year old.

To me she looks like the teenage girls/women commonly seen in Anime/Magna/Hentai where the "womanly parts" are larger/better than their older counterparts but they also have the youngish looking features/clear skin of their teenage selves.

It's kind of that jacked-up/skewed look of women/girls I see in her.

She's got great boobs for a 14 year old.

Thinking back to when I was 14, some girls did have great boobs.

She looks 14 to me

She looks like a lump of rubber to me.

 

[NCC1968]

If he had built an American robot she woulda slapped him by now

This is like the creepy "RealDoll" thing times 100. Jesus Christ, he could have hired a roomful of hookers for the money he spent on that thing. There are better ways for desperate people to get laid.
