This is official Project Aiko website, which talk about the making of an android called Aiko. Aiko was build from my basement using my credit card and my entire saving account as funding. I decided to use Silicone Doll from Japan as Aiko's body. My vision was to create something that we will be able to relate to and consider human-like.

Aiko is the first android to mimic pain, and reacts to it. This technology can be beneficial for people born with or who have undergone amputations. This is the first step toward a life-like mechanical limb that has the ability to feel physical sensation

How Aiko was built

I have been watching Robot anime, since I was a kid. After watching Chobits and DearS, I have made up my mind that I will make a full human android on August 15,2007. All it takes is inspiration...

After many struggles, and exactly 1.5 months later I have finished Aiko version 1.0. On Novemeber 2,3,4 2007, Aiko made her first TV interview from Global news, and her first public apperance at the HobbyShow at Toronto International Center, and Ontario Science Center a week later. Aiko is bilingual, she can speak English and Japanese.

Aiko is "MADE IN CANADA"

It is designed to interact with the surrounding environment, process it...
