Aiko's arm has the ability to feel physical sensation
This is the first generation prototype of Aiko's arm
It has the ability to move similar to a human arm with our uniquely designed joints. Most remarkably, Aiko’s arm can mimic physical sensation. Aiko can tell the difference between being touched gently, being hit or grabbed, and will react accordingly. The arm is currently being tested with the B.R.A.I.N.S software, and will be incorporated into Aiko’s body once testing is completed. Eventually, the touch sensation system will be integrated into all facets of Aiko’s skin and body.
In the future, 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.

What are the tubes inside her arms made of? Man, I wish I could see the work you're doing (like the schematics, or how you built her, for example)! What sort of things do you need to know to make a robot? I'm interested in things like this. I think they're cool.
The clear tubes inside her arms are optical wires.
I will eventually, release the basic schematics in the near future.
It will take a lot of time and patience and as you begin to do it, you will feel good about your project.
incredible !
hi. i've kept up to date on this for a while now and am absolutely psyched about everything you're doing!! i only wish i lived in Canada so i could come see Aiko in person!!! Keep up the AMAZING work.
hi, could you install softwares like encyclopedia on her brain?
that would be nice if she has a lot of knowledge also add recognition for peoples facial expressions and how she would react to them. she needs to have her own different facial expressions, she having her own free will is making it more real and interesting. i like that, input in her more of those things where she denies some things like seeing bad manners and scolding the person.
the tone of her voice must also change, like with fear, discomfort, excitement.
you might need help from those who makes cybernetic arms and limbs for amputated people. the movement must become more fluid and human like.
