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.

This video is so amazing. When you visit DisneyWorld, or DisneyLand the characters that show up are generally people wearing furry costumes. With Wall-E, the envelope for Disney Mascot technology has been pushed. Check out this cool video of Wall-E in action..

Well I think I found the source of my nightmares for the rest of the month. I never really found realistic robots all that scary, in real life or in movies. That has all changed now, as this realistic robotic Japanese girl has made me pee my pants.

Depending on where you’re at in the world you’d call it Robot Soccer or Robot Football. I’d just call it freakin’ awesome. Robocup went other way last week in Japan. Unlike other forms of soccer, this matched involved three robots taking on another group of three. The match was intense, and here’s a highlight from one of the goals (freaking goalie was like a statue in there).
