With current technology it is impossible to design software and hardware to mimic all systems of life. However, they have tried the best to designing an artificial intelligence system which uses both dynamic software and hardware linked together to mimic part of human behaviour. By using Biometric Robot Artificial Intelligence Neural System (aka B.R.A.I.N.S) software together with a custom designed Humanoid (aka Aiko), they hope one day they will make an android as close to a human as much as possible.

Building a robot that will look humanoid is a very complicated but fascinating experience. The differences between robot and human are that we have feelings and emotions and robots do not. It is currently impossible to build a robot that will have the same feelings and emotions as us, but we can start by building a robot that looks human, one that can read, recognize objects, and interact with the surroundings.
Aiko has the ability to talk and interact with human (13,000+ sentences). Aiko can read books, newspapers (print font size at least 12 pts). She has the ability to solve math problems displayed to her visually. Aiko has the ability to see color patterns on the clothes you are wearing. Aiko in theory has the ability to bring you your orange juice or coffee. In other words, Aiko can distinguish between the different drinks. She can also recognize simple foods such as Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Sandwiches and even toys. Aiko has the ability to recognize the faces of family members, or Aiko can be programmed to activate defense mode when it does not recognize the person’s face in the house such as in the case of an intruder. How advance is Aiko? When you are about to go outside, Aiko can tell you to bring an umbrella if it is going to rain or wear warmer clothes if it is windy.
Software B.R.A.I.N.S
By using B.R.A.I.N.S software together with Aiko, we have created one of the most unique android. The software is programmed in C# and Basic, and is constantly updated. BRAINS software controls speech, reading, math, vision, colors, hearing, automation and sensors. It controls reading temperatures to face and 3-D object recognition. In other words, it is literally the brain and heart of Aiko. In additional to controlling Aiko’s functions,the software can control Robot kits such as Kondo KHR2 through voice activation, automation and basic recognition. The BRAINS software is designed to interact with the surrounding environment, process it, and record the information into its internal memory. Once the internal memory is at full capacity, the information can be transferred into the server data base. The information can be shared for current and future robots.
