Inventor Le Trung has introduced Aiko, the nearly perfect woman. She is in her twenties, has 32-23-33 measurements, shiny hair and stunning features. Here's the catch: Aiko is a robot.
Trung is a Canadian who said he never had time to find a real companion, so he built one who knows his drink preferences and will do simple chores. She cost about $20,000. She doesn't perform love motions, but Le says he isn't done tweaking her yet.
Implications - This is the kind of thing that most people thought only existed in science fiction movies and fantasies. But no, this is very real. The Aiko Robot is available for sale now.
