You can chalk up today’s news as perhaps rumor, but there’s plenty of evidence to substantiate the story. I knew that this day would eventually come, I just didn’t think it would be so soon. Someone has officially created the first robot wife, according to Sun.co.uk.

Le Trung is the inventor of his robot wife, who he calls Aiko. I’m sure someone has made a robot, and called it his “wife”. Le Trung has stepped that idea up a notch, as he’s created a robot who could easily be mistaken as an actual woman from a certain distance.

Aiko has a vast amount of dialogue and can speak up to 13,000 sentences at a time. She has a large number of sensors as well, and reacts to many forms of touch. Which is displayed in the video below.

The big question on most minds, including my perverted own is if she performs robotic duties in the bedroom. Le Trung hasn’t added the ability yet, but is something he could easily add with a few tweaks.

Le Trung also mentions that he has created her as a form of hobby, with most of his work being conducted in the basement. Now that she’s pretty much complete, he uses her for all sorts of things. Like reading the paper for him in the morning.

I have a mixed reaction to the video, and story about Le Trung and Aiko. Part of me thinks this is one of the coolest robot creations ever. While another part of me is very creeped out by the fact that a robot is so close to providing needs that only humans could before.
