Inventor Le Trung spent Christmas Day with the most important woman in his life - his robot Aiko.

The science genius enjoyed a festive dinner with his mum, dad and his £30,000 fembot which he designed and built by hand.

Le, 34, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, even bought gifts for his dream girl, who is so lifelike she speaks fluent English and Japanese, helped cook the turkey and hang up decorations.

'Aiko is like any woman, she enjoys getting new clothes,' he said.

'I loved buying them for her too.'

Le, who built his first robot when he was four, has dedicated his life to creating the perfect humanoid and his success so far with Aiko has won him worldwide attention.

Aiko, whose name is Japanese for 'love-child' has an amazing artificial intelligence and can speak 13,000 different sentences in two languages

'Aiko can recognise faces and says hello to anyone she has met,' he said.

'She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like.'

After Christmas dinner and opening her presents, Aiko joined in the festive tradition of quizzes and board games with the family.

But Le still has one thing on his Christmas wish list for Aiko - mastering the problem of how to make her walk.

He said: 'It is the most difficult thing for any inventor to do.

'The problem is finding a way for Aiko to walk that looks human-like without impacting on any of her other abilities.

'I have spent the last six months taking her apart and trying out lots of different systems, but I haven't been able to get it right yet.

'I'm working on some new software at the moment. It will be my New Year's resolution to do this for Aiko.'

Le has built up huge debts working on his fembot and is still trying to find a technology company to sponsor his research.

But in the meantime he has had to move back in with his parents and they will all be spending the festive period and New Year together.

'My family found it a bit odd at first, but now they all love Aiko,' said Le.

'My mum and dad chat away to her. It helps by talking to her, as it improves her vocabulary.'

Le suffered a heart attack two years ago caused by stress after working long hours on Aiko.

As he recovered he vowed to complete her so he could market the prototype as a home-help for the elderly or people recovering from hospital treatment.

Le has made his fembot as womanly as possible, in order to make a human-like companion.

Aiko, whose age is 'in her early 20's', is 5ft tall and has a perfect 32, 23, 33 figure.

She has real silicone skin and a real-hair wig made by a Japanese doll company. Her touch sensitive body knows the difference between being stroked gently or tickled.

'Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways,'said Le.

'If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell.

'But Aiko is always helpful and never complains. She is the perfect woman to have around at Christmas.'

Creepy

[ghosthunter]

Reminds me of the anime "CHOBITS" ...

[rion]

this is where we benefit from those creeps. at kasalanan yan ng mga babae ngayon.

watch ninyo Lars and the Real Girl

A delusional young guy strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.

ma eenjoy kayo nito. hehe...

.

I guess it is a case why American guys seems to prefer to marry Filipina girls over American girls since many American girls tend to be more independent and often demanding.

[rion]

ah yes, Chobits, finished ko yan. saan nga ba socket ng power switch ni chi?
Anime like these will make more Le Trungs.

I think it's in the "ears" thingies

Anime like these will make more Le Trungs.

If there are real "persocomps" like how it's described in Chobits (virtually human looking), I wouldn't mind having one or two at home. Does all the chores, cooking and would be able to carry a decent conversation as well.

hmm... I thought it was on the private part. lol and there was one episode where the guy was inlove with the persocon.

I can see the future where we have persocon and can legally marry them.

Finaly,... women's mouth are no good, always speak their minds, while persocon's mouth are useful and disease free.
