Aiko: a £30,000 custom-made fembot
Okay, I am a CrunchGear subscriber. Lately, I received updates from them and one of their articles caught my attention: Whatever you did this holiday, this guy with the robot wife had more fun . “Robot!” the word itself really alarmed me, not really alarmed, but caught my interest. So I continue digging through the whole story and it redirects me to the main site’s article. Below is the excerpt.
“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.“
Full article at Dailymail.
Summary:
Le Trung 34 from Brampton, Ontario, Canada invented a £30,000 custom-made fembot (female robot) named Aiko (‘love-child‘) that has an amazing Artificial Intelligence (AI). Currently, Le is trying to find a way to teach Aiko how to walk like a normal human person.

Dear webslave mc’coolot,
My name is joyce godio, a research assistant for the study, “Filipino blogging and political participation,” an independent research funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Canada through its Strengthening ICT Research Capacity in Asia (SIRCA) grant program. A component of this study aims to: (1) look into the motivation of Filipinos for reading political blogs; (2) determine if and how Filipino political blog readers participate in politics, offline or online; and (3) examine whether reading political blogs have affected the nature and level of their political participation.
In this regard, we’d like to request your participation as one of the survey respondents for this study. The survey, to be administered via email, can be accomplished in 5-7 minutes. Let us know if you’re interested to participate, so we can send you the survey form in Word file. Please note that your name came up in a sampling, conducted between February 15 to May 31, 2009, of blog readers who left a comment in one of the A-list Filipino political blogs identified for that period.
Rest assured that your identity and response will be treated as confidential and will be used only for purposes of this study.
Feel free to send questions/clarifications to the principal researcher, Ms. Mary Grace P. Mirandilla at mg.mirandilla@gmail.com or at mpmirandilla1@up.edu.ph. To learn more about her work, visit http://www.linkedin.com/in/gracemirandilla or view the attached bio. Info about the SIRCA grant program can be found at http://www.sirca.org.sg/.
