Life Full of Robots

Pr. Hiroshi Ishiguro is one of the top 100 geniuses alive in the world today, who has devoted himself to creating humanlike robots.

"In the future, our lives will be full of robots," he says.

The professor compared the evolution of robots to the evolution of cars. "Once we have developed practical robots, we can spend more and more time building autonomy," he said.

Androids which look just like you can conduct your business, attend conferences, and go shopping, while you sit in the comfort of your home. A camera will monitor your facial expressions and your android's face will mirror your expressions. Ishiguro says there is even a psychological phenomenon: if someone touches your android, you feel it. "It's a very tactile sensation," he says.

One day Ishiguro left his twin android to give pre-recorded lectures at Osaka University in Japan, while he went overseas. He also - when invited for two conferences - emailed the conference organizers that he would have to send his android to one of the events. Both conferences replied: "We want the android!"

Ishiguro has developed androids that look and feel just like humans - with very realistic skin, hair and facial and body movements. In one experiment, an android was made to read the evening news. "No one could tell the difference," says Ishiguro. "That means we don't need newscasters - just androids." The question is - what does it mean to be human? Is it important for the robots to look like humans? Prof. Ishiguro was also asked a question about the threat that robots may take over people. Ishiguro said that the western world's fear of robots, as shown in movies such as The Terminator, was foreign to the Japanese, who saw robots as friendly.
