Zheng told the local TV station that he has plans to upgrade Yingying to give her the ability to walk and do some household chores.

Their wedding ceremony was attended by his mother and friends. The bride's head was covered in with a red veil, in traditional custom.

It's highly possible that this has been an elaborate publicity stunt to promote his company's AI and neural network technologies.

Still, Zheng seemed fairly sincere in his interview with Pear Video, saying: "My dream of making my own spouse finally came true. I want to see robots in every home, and ultimately I want to build a realistic robot girlfriend."

Some experts have predicted that marriage between humans and robots will become legal by 2050, driven by public demand.
