Terminator 1.0 getting a little closer
From CTVNews.ca:
Ontario man builds real-life female android
Geoff Nixon, CTV.ca News
For as long as he can remember, Le Trung has been obsessed with robots.
"When I was a kid, we watched a lot of anime robots," the 33-year-old told CTV.ca in a phone interview from his parents' home in Brampton, Ont.
"Gundam, when I was a kid...or Volton, Macross, whatever," Trung said, rhyming off the popular Japanese anime shows that fuelled his dream to build a robot of his own.
"Your head starts thinking: 'Robot, robot.' And I had to build one."
...
Aiko is a 32-kilogram female android that Trung began building in August of last year.
She is just under five feet tall, has brown eyes that can distinguish 300 faces per second and speaks 13,000 English and Japanese phrases.
Her skin is made of silicone and her insides are made of an expensive collection of wires, motors and various sensors.
I don't know what his head his thinking but mine is thinking this is a bad idea.
