A Toronto-based researcher has built what he claims is the world's first fully functional female robot (http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/defineterm.jhtml?term=robot&x=&y=) -- a lifelike android named Aiko that is capable of recognizing faces, identifying medication, and even buttering toast....
Despite her lifelike appearance and 32-23-33, anatomically correct measurements, Trung insists Aiko is not a sex doll. "I'm attached to it, but do I sleep with it? No," said Aiko, in an interview (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081211.wrobot11/BNStory/Technology/home) published Thursday in Toronto's Globe & Mail newspaper...
Aiko is now seeking investors so he can conduct further robotics research and make continued improvements to Aiko. "Her fingertips are still made of cardboard, see. I don't have money for titanium," Trung told the Globe.
Though similar, science fiction literature generally distinguishes between robots and androids -- with the former only capable of carrying out preprogrammed commands while the latter is supposedly able to think independently. Trung claims Aiko is able to spell out words he hasn't taught her.
The only reason she isn't a sexbot yet is because he can't afford silicone pussy lips! I'm sure he could only take so much metal chaffing.
