Le Trung is an inventor who has developed a robot that can communicate, do household duties and refers to Trung as "husband." Named "Aiko," the robot has the body and face of a female, is constructed with a 32-23-33 figure and is described by the inventor to be "in her 20s." Trung initially set out to create a robot who could take care of the elderly, but refocused his goal to create an android that would simulate what he feels is the "perfect wife". The inventor further states that although "Aiko" does not have sexual capabilities, a few minor tweaks can turn her into a sexual partner.TheSun: Inventor builds She-3PO robot (December 10, 2008)
