“She doesn’t need holidays, food or rest and she will work almost 24-hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”
This is Canadian inventor Le Trung, who designed a robot to be his companion and servant. Naturally, he made such a robot appear female.
Le, a scientific genius from Brampton in Ontario, Canada, said he never had time to find a real partner so he designed one using the latest technology.
…
He began work on Aiko [the robot] two years ago in the home he shares with his brother.
But the stress of working on such a difficult project became too much for Le and he suffered a mild heart attack in November last year.
No time to build a relationship with a real woman, but two years to dedicate to creating a robot servant? Hm. Hmmmmmmm.
