Aiko, Le Trung’s Robo-Girl, is still in the news, and at least one commercial company seems to have taken advantage of her.
“British British tabloids are calling it his ‘robot girlfriend’, but a 33-year-old Brampton man maintains that Aiko, which means ‘Love Child’ in Japanese, is merely a research project, albeit a costly, time-consuming one,” says CTV.
“The fem-bot has been programmed by creator Trung Le to read, swat away an inappropriately placed hand, and speak about 13,000 sentences in English and Japanese.”
The headline to a p2pnet story read, World media swoon over Le Trung’s robo-girl, and occupied a top spot on the main Google news page for quite a few hours on December 12.
And she was still there today at 4:00 am pacific today under Scientist Builds Female Android from InformationWeek.
Aiko is cool but IOHO, she’s hardly a sex-bomb.
CTV also runs a video of Aiko its story on the android and by and amazing concidence, it kicks off with another robo-girl to rival Aiko.
And this time it has very definite, and unmistakable, sexual overtones.
It’s an advertisement in which a female robot lovingly strokes a man’s face in what a promo page for a model agency calls a “high-tech Ad spot” featuring a “hot [male] model” getting a close shave under the shower,.
Are you there, Isaac Asimov?
