And then there were fembots in Canada...

So this guy in Canada built himself a girlfriend. Sure his parents were a bit weirded out at first, but now they seem cool with it.



Robo-gal Aiko (A-ko?) has all the senses except for smell, is sensitive enough to tell when she is being stroked or tickled, and apparently if you're too forward with her or rough she'll even try to slap you. She can speak English and Japanese, can hold conversations fairly well, and can recognize people and objects. The only issue at this point is that she can't really walk on her own. Oh, and she likes getting new clothes for Christmas....

So, we're getting ever closer to the Blade Runner-esque cyber dystopia followed by a robot uprising. Are you ready?
