Perfect Female Robot Not Made for Sex: Inventor

The Canadian inventor, who created the lifesize female robot 'Aiko' and dubbed it his 'perfect woman', insists that he didn't design it for sexual purposes, but it was one possible use of the technology.

Aiko, a female android, can speak English and Japanese and is designed with a touch-sensitive face and body so she reacts in a natural way if she is shown affection or hurt.

Now, A Microscopic Robot To Deliver Drugs Inside The Body
Scientists at the University of Sheffield and the University of Barcelona have devised a microscopic swimming robot that could deliver drugs inside the body by mimicking the wheel of a paddle-steamer.

Le Trung's from Toronto, Canada insists that he didn't design Aiko for sexual purposes, but it was one possible use.

"In theory, yes it's capable of that and whether people want to use it like that, it's up to them," News.Com.Au quoted him as saying.

Trung said that Aiko's software - dubbed Biometric Robot Artificial Intelligence Neural System, or BRAINS - using C# and Basic and hopes to license the system to other robot developers in the future.
