Vietnamese-Japanese-Canadian man builds fembot with $25,000

33 year-old Trung Le from Brampton, Ontario, managed to build his ideal life partner on a budget. Because of the financial strains imposed by his hobby, he had to move in with his parents.

In a recent interview he declared:

She's not really my girlfriend. Aiko's a robot who can do a lot of things, and hopefully more soon. I have friends – I don't need to create friends. There was a lot of stress. Of creating her, of having almost no money left and finding no sponsor.

We know about Aiko:

Aiko – which means love child in Japanese – can speak about 13,000 sentences in Japanese and English, do algebra, trig and geometry, and tell the weather in foreign cities, courtesy of Internet links.

She can move her hands, nod her head – and shout indignantly if touched roughly. When Le lightly slapped her, she cried out: "It's not nice to touch a girl's head. Touch your own head."

Le is now trying to teach her to make tea and coffee, and do simple household chores.

Warning to all men who hope to duplicate Trung Le’s efforts in the hope of a quieter life: he had a heart attack last year, so we can safely assume she’s not as nice as she seems.
