An android is a robot that looks like a human being. It can be a man, woman, or child. Most androids have artificial intelligence (A.I.), which means they can learn things. You can search YouTube and find videos of different androids.
Mr. Lee lives in Ontario, Canada. He is a very smart and hardworking man. He is always busy at work and he does not have time for his friends. He spends most of his free time on his hobby. His hobby is building androids.
Last year, he finished building his first android. She can speak English and Japanese. She knows math and she can spell words. She also has artificial intelligence so she can learn things. She does not need a holiday and she never gets sick. She will not lie to you or steal from you. She does not complain and she never gets angry. Mr. Lee thinks she is almost perfect. All his friends have names so he decided to call his android Aiko.
Mr. Lee wants Aiko to be perfect so he is working very hard because he has a list of things that will make Aiko even better. He wants her to make him coffee and tea, feed him sushi, cook breakfast, clean his ears, massage his neck and shoulders, clean the windows, dust the shelves, and clean his toilet.
If you had an android, what would you want him or her to do? Would you want your android to help you with your homework? Wash your clothes? Clean the dishes? Walk your dog?
There are many interesting movies with androids. Have you seen Alien, The Terminator, Bicentennial Man, A.I., or Blade Runner? Some of these movies are scary so read the reviews first.
Here is a video of Aiko in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHFZVwQ53bk
