Inventor builds his own girlfriend

Inventor builds his own girlfriend

(CNN) -- An inventor who claims he has never had time to find a human girlfriend has created his own perfect woman -- a robot.

Le Trung, 33, from Toronto in Canada, says Aiko can do the cleaning, mix his favorite drink and read him newspaper headlines.

"Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways," he told Britain's Sun newspaper Thursday. "If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell."

Aiko actually means "love child" in Japanese but the software engineer denies he has created the robot for sex.

"Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty," he said.

However, he did add that the fembot's software could be tweaked to "simulate her having an orgasm."

Creating Aiko has cost Le Trung around $21,000, with much of the money coming from credit cards and the sale of his car.

With the support of a sponsor, Trung hopes to spend the next few years perfecting Aiko's software and increasing her range of skills -- including the ability to walk -- but not just for his own amusement.

"I suffered a heart attack and I thought that one day I might need 24-hour care," he told Britain's Telegraph newspaper.






bwahaha

wow those excuses are bull

You know you are jealous, Andrew. You too, Mia.

Whats really sad is that he could have had the time to get a girlfriend if he wasn't building this robot (which we all KNOW he had sex on his mind while building it).

He might not have though. I'm not sure which thought is more unnerving. And have you TRIED getting a girlfriend in the real world?

Actually, I've been asked twice (LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago) but I turned them down, so technically it could be really easy, but as far as current issues stand, I am happily single.

I meant out of school you ninny. AND SUMMER BREAK DOESN'T COUNT!

lol, I'll keep that in mind.

Just you wait....

...Wow. Just wow.

You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE!!

You know you will all see.
