Inventor Builds Robot Wife

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-lonely-lonely-man dept.

Inventor Le Trung must really like the book "The Stepford Wives," because he has built the dream of every lonely man without hope, a robot wife. Le's wife, Aiko, starts the day by reading him the newspaper headlines and they go for a drives in the countryside. Le says his relationship with Aiko hasn't strayed into the bedroom, but a few tweaks could turn her into a sexual partner, even redesigning her to have a simulated orgasm. *Shudder*

    I mean, he had the chance to design his own wife, and look how flat-chested he made her.

      he didn't design her to look like a teenage school-girl... with tentacles. Fixed that for you.

    In any case, it sounds to me like he has designed himself a robot *girlfriend* at the moment. When it is capable of having a simulated headache, we can upgrade it to 'wife' status.

    Building, programming, and maintaining a fully functional female robot is easier and cheaper than understanding the real thing.
