It’s official: Dr. Trung doesn’t have a day job. He’s been tweaking his fembot “Aiko” for almost a year now, and his latest creation is a rather amazing hand that can be used for Aiko or for human augmentation. The last time we saw them the hand was a clumsy golf glove affair, but now Trung has slimmed it down to more feminine, creepo proportions, while keeping the five movable fingers and pretty stunning dexterity for what seems to be a primarily individual effort on the part of Dr. Trung. The next step seems to be feedback sensors, and we still haven’t seen this bolted onto Aiko, but we like where this project is headed.
