"I think it's Japanese for gay." While the Japanese word has no connotation towards sexuality, and usually just refers to guys who have some sort of working relationship (business partnership, tennis partners, wingmen in picking up women, or simply best friends etc.), it can only be translated into English as "partner," and so the homosexual connotations of that phrase have carried over. It does not help that the word was largely popularized in Yu-Gi-Oh as the pharoah refers to Yugi as Aibou, and there is a lot of homosexual oriented fandom regarding that "partnership." Official coinage as a synonym for "gay" by Marik from Little Kuriboh's Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series.

Get the Aibou mug.Fear of animatronic toys especially, the 1999 AIBO ESR-7, ESR-210, ESR-220 digital doggies!
Called also 'Robophobia'.
Sony, the megacompany that made these 'partner' or 'personal' robots didn't see this coming I'm sure, but cobots (=collaborative robots. The science of making them is called 'cobotics'), are not always our friend: there's a culture of 'applied autonomy' that send these mere MIs (Machine Intelligents), to dangerous places and risky situations instead of humans in what is named aptly 'inverse technology'! One day these tele-robotics will retaliate against this injustice!

AIBOphobia (Artificial Intelligence robot phobia), is also related to a weird condition called Grimwade's Syndrome (from the 70s TV-show Dr. Who's' story "The Robot of Death").
