Do you plan on doing a seminar on Aiko at the Hobby Show?

Hi

This year is a bit hard, they only going to give one table for me.
So not much room for demo.

1) Demo the artificial hand
2) Aiko demo
3) Show how the software work.
4) If we are lucky I might get Aiko's leg done. And do a few demo on the new leg.

I won't do much demo compare to the year before.
I had Heart Attack and taken to the hospital during the live demo.
So this year, I am going to take it easily.

Aiko

Don't forget to make a video of the public appearance, and if at your age you had a heart attack that means you need to do more exercise, run in the park as much as you can at least once every 3-4 days, you'll feel great and have much more energy to work on Aiko and the job, I'm talking from my own experience.

Tell us about your trip and expirience its awesome

I couldn't go, living in Scotland. Can one of those who went please post photographs?

Hi

Took some pictures...
Not good at taking pictures...

Nah the pictures are fine. She is gradually improving visually.

Do her hands in the pictures have gloves on them, or are they just without the skin?
It may be just an illusion, but the size doesn't fit right, as if she has "man hands" (the hands of a man on a woman).

Thank you! The pictures are actually very well-taken in comparison to my skills.

The pictures are fine.

It was a great trip. The flight there and back were good and I didn't have any trouble going through customs. I got to Toronto a little after 4pm. My ears felt plugged because of the pressure change on the plane so I had a little trouble hearing for the rest of the night but that seems to be normal when I fly.

After I found my motel and checked in I walked over to the Hobby Show and met Trung and his dad. Trung introduced me to Aiko and showed me Aikos face recognition software. Aiko can recognize me with and without my glasses on. Then I got my picture taken with Aiko.

On Saturday I walked back to the Hobby Show and met Trungs mom. I said hello to Aiko and she remembered who I was. I was invited to sit at the table with Trung and got to see the software, and all the hand and Aiko demos. Aiko is just as impressive in person as she is in the videos. I hung out at the table with Trung and his family until it was time to leave for the airport which was around 4pm. The flight was a little expensive but it was worth it.

Do her hands in the pictures have gloves on them, or are they just without the skin?

The hands in the pictures have gloves on. Trung is still working on the hands and it's easy to put gloves on and off to work on them. When Trung makes the hands how he wants them he'll put the skin on and they'll look like real hands.

First impression is always best, And the way you describe it must be. Nice that you have a chat with Mr. Trung and his parents you must have been suprised by that haha, I was with reading it. But knowing that Aiko has gained fame a little is to be a proud achievement also. Did you had a chat with Aiko to.

Hi letrung, can you speak vietnamese, i have some question, why don't u do this project with some university.

Hi Mr T.Nguyen.

I can't really speak vietnamese well.
I can Not read or write. I only know a few sentences.

Unfortuntely, university doesn't really want to work with you if you don't have a Phd.
Otherwise, they will take over the project and leave you with nothing.
