Well, here are the official website opening statements:

Welcome to Project Aiko This is the official Project Aiko website which talks about the making of a Yumecom(TM) called Aiko (Yumecom = Dream Computer Robot).
The original goal of Aiko was to help our aging population to do simple tasks like make tea and coffee, tell them the weather, read a magazine or remind them to take their medication at the correct time.
There are many applications for Aiko in the home, office or public places...
...Aiko is the first android to react to physical stimuli and mimic pain.
This technology could be applied to people born with or who have undergone amputations.
Aiko is the first step towards a life-like mechanical limb that has the ability to feel physical sensations.
I started to build Aiko on August 15, 2007.
About a month and a half later, Aiko version1 was completed.
Aiko made her first public appearance at the Hobby Show on November 2007 at the Toronto International Center and then at the Ontario Science Center a week later.
Aiko is currently bilingual and can speak English and Japanese.
Additional languages are a future possibility.

In one of the videos demonstrating Aiko's capabilities her creator says that he
has been approached by people asking if they would make a custom model Aiko which is more like something we saw in Blade Runner, and her name was Pris:
Personally, I think Aiko is cuter and probably one of the coolest applications of technology next to video games.
Aiko sort of reminds me of GUNNM [Gun Dream] Battle Angel: Alita
