Larry from London has created the amazing Robo Dog.
Built by hand and created entirely from recycled parts this robot is certainly not street legal. It sports two hind wheels and two front walking legs.
This flame throwing beast is made from Citroën parts, part of an airplane’s radar detector, lots of metal and coffee filters among other things.

Canadian inventor Le Trung has created the robot Aiko. Is this the real Perfect Woman? Only Le will know for sure, but let’s take a look at Aiko.
She can always remember faces, birthdays, plays Xbox games and can be set to mute. She also reacts to touch and can speak over 13,000 sentences.
Aiko was designed to be in her 20’s and has a 32-23-33 figure. She was not designed for use in the bedroom, but Le says he could “tweak” her for more romantic uses.
Le hopes to one day make copies of Aiko for sale, but that is probably a long way off.
