Project Aiko is an entertaining and exciting robotic creation from Canada. While it is not yet an autonomous robot (it does not currently change location under its own power), this fascinating invention holds a great deal of promis for future development. Get Wikipedia’s Take.

Take, for instance, it’s ability to process face recognition as well as object regcognition.  Add to that the link to everybody’s favorite animation, anime, and you’ve got a real winner. But if you still crave a little more, we’ll give Aiko a sweet voice, and throw in a bit of self awareness. Watch the Aiko Video!

Not only that but Aiko (which translates to “love child”) has B.R.A.I.N.S.  No, really,  that’s the software (Biometric Robot Artificial Intelligence Neural System) developed by Mr. Le designed, its creator. Aiko speaks English and Japanese, and is programmed with over 13000 spoken phrases, and has touch sensors in her body and arms to allow her to interact more humanly. She is able to learn what pain is, and avoid it.

Aside from being the only one, she is the cutest Japanese fembot we have ever seen.
