Ew. Software engineer Le Trung made an Asian-looking female robot named Aiko who calls him “Master.”  Oh, if she only looked like Rosie from The Jetsons!  But no, she looks like a barely legal Asian girl.

His $25,000 “fembot” is offensive on so many levels.  A robot who calls him “Master” would be one thing. But a feminine robot who looks (as a NY Daily News commenter put it) like one of those 10-year-old Chinese gymnasts who calls him “Masters” taps into all kinds of stereotypes about submissive Asian women. (Not that the fembot would be any less gross if she were a different ethnicity.) Even creepier?  Her name means “love child” in Japanese.

We’ve got a grade-A creep on our hands.

Aiko speaks 13,000 sentences in English, but something tells us men don’t create robots what look prepubescent to discuss the world’s big ideas with them.

Gross, gross, gross….
