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.

If it works and works well, give him a large grant to upgrade and manufacture more of them.

*Raises one eyebrow*

Very, very creepy. The way the article is worded....I don’t even want to know.

[Petronski]

Anyone who doesn’t find this wildly disturbing is unwilling to admit this dude had sex—thorough honeymoon sex—with his ‘mate’ over the holiday.

I think the fruity little boy Jamie traumatized me more then Vicki. Also for some reason Sandy Duncan on the Hogans creeped me out.

Dude had a heart attack at age THIRTY-TWO "caused by stress after working long hours on Aiko."

Weird.

He wants her to be "a home-help for the elderly or people recovering from hospital treatment."

Most quotable takeaway line:

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

What was the name of that show, anyway?

[Army Air Corps]

With a name like Le Trung, it is more likely that he is Vietnamese.

'If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you.

I don't think he ought to teach her to play golf or have golf clubs around the house. lmao

The show was “Little Wonder”. Creepsville.

Reminds me of the people who purchase the weird, creepy life-like babies and treat them like real children with rooms of their own, etc.
