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.

Now, if someone says "I'd hit it!" I'm really going to be disgusted.

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

Real or artificial, it doesn't matter, they'll all put you in an early grave. lol

If not this model, then a future one, you can’t stop progress.

Jack Warden? Poor fembot.

[period end of story]

In this case, I think he’d be better off being gay.

Charlie Sheen’s next wife.

I find her name ‘love-child’ to be even creepier. Apparently he does.

Toyota is doing a good job of getting proper gait figured out. If this guy teamed up with them they'd get some serious engineering done. Maybe someday soon somebody will finally find a way to go to the kitchen and get me some pie.

[fish hawk]

I don’t think so. She is a lesbian.

He’ll be able to sell millions in China, just as soon as their birth control policies catch up with them...

Brings to mind that familiar old song ‘Chestnuts roasting on an open fire’

Dunno why

[353FMG]

What if she says “no”?

hehehe...

Harcourt... Fenton... Mudd!

[ottbmare]

Criticize if you must, but he’s never going to have to pay alimony and child support to any of the Love Dolls.

[matt1234]

But will she love me long time?

Watching TV with my mom tonight, and a preview/commercial for the cable show Taboo comes on. It shows a man kissing a doll woman and he says something to the effect that he’s never had an organic girlfriend.
