Aiko, the personal female robot

When I first saw this I was astounded. It truly seems like a work of science fiction. Aiko as she is called is a robot designed to help the elderly. She can identify objects, read, do math, and interact with the world around her. She will even tell you to stop when you poke her or even when you fondle her. Some might say that we are getting or already have gotten to close to a life like humanoid robot. I however believe that it is an incredible step towards the further development of human technology.
