Inventor Le Trung and his fem-bot Aiko are profiled in the The Sun. Scroll down and watch video reacting like a "real female" to Trung's touch:

Inventor Le Trung, 33, created Aiko, said to be "in her 20s" with a stunning 32, 23, 33 figure, shiny hair and delicate features.

She even remembers his favourite drink and does simple cleaning and household tasks...

...The fem-bot has a touch-sensitive face and body so she reacts if shown affection or hurt.

"Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways. If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell," he said.

Check out video of Trung and Aiko. One minute and six seconds into the video, Trung touches Aiko's chest and she says, "I do not like it when you touch my breasts!"

Dude is creepy. He ruined it for me after he touched her chest. It makes me wonder what else he does with her in this basement. Yikes ..

Actually, I thought it was really interesting that he programmed her with a sense of ownership of her body, and the right to say no in that instance. My social programming sure as hell didn't include that.

Yes, he may be a bit geeky, but quite undeserving of some of the cruder comments made here. Gee, would you rather see a story about some STUPID person doing something STUPID? There are plenty of those elsewhere on HuffPo every day.

For what it's worth, this robot was not made in Japan, but in Canada.
And if you BOTHER to SEE more about the robot's designer,

http://www.projectaiko.com/video.html

you'll see that he's quite a good guy- not only has a very impressive personal history, but also because of his designs for functional prosthetic hands for humans.

Or would some people find that funny too?

But it will sell well in Japan where Japanese women refuse to marry spoiled men is epidemic.

I would take her over Elizabeth Hasselbeck or Sarah Palin any day of the week.

So, let me get this straight. You'd prefer to have sex with a machine than a real woman based on her politics? You don't think that's perhaps a bit strange? And, what's with the obsession with Palin?

No, seriously, what is YOUR obsession with Palin? You have been very touchy about any of the comments referring to her as robotic or a drone. You may be fascinated by her, but most folks here are not I imagine.

Take your own deep breath and please get over this. If she just goes back to doing her job and not trying to hog the 3 minutes left of her 15, I'm sure the cracks on her will pass soon.

Sarah wouldn't know politics if it won her the presidency. Ask her what the VP does, She still doesn't know!

I imagine most men want their women to have class, brains, and soul. Can't get that w/Sarah.

It's OK, take a couple of deep breaths and count to 100. You're angst and fear will abate... for awhile anyway.

I wonder if LeTrung's wife abuses the robot when's he's away. Being "traded
in for a younger model" hastaken on a whole new meaning."
