Human-like Robot

I was amazed they had come this far..

Actually it isn't that much of a surprize when you see news reports like...
NASA: Shuttle carrying humanoid robot delayed

Robotics has moved along swiftly over the last few decades especially with goals of unmanned probes sent to Mars and further by NASA. When you look at how small things will be in the pc world in a few short years with miniturization of components plus prosetics for those who suffered various injuries the robotic bran becomes the real challenge over the outside appearances.

If you look at the more recent sci-fi movies and series the special effects and lifelike appearances of manicans shows the "really alive" look to fake aliens, monsters, and other "things" are made to look as real as possible. Now apply the outside to the advancements in robotics over the years to arrive at... "she looks so alive!"

For the record I'd like to note how the prototypes are almost always female if they aren't genderless. On a totally unrelated note many technological advances have been spurred by the adult entertainment industry. More storage? Bandwidth? Faster internet? More efficient image compression algorithms?

I'm not entirely certain we have nothing to worry about.

There's definitely going to be many varied markets for something like this.

There a few male versions, even kids - but young females are certainly the most prolific.

Finally, the old joke about 'the off switch' has become a reality

but can it do the washing up?

And the one about the smaller shoe size , too

Besides all of the other "old sayings" that could be tossed in here as well the reality of it is how little is revealed in the video there as far as actual responses. You barely hear a peep from that one while the one NASA is planning to launch wouldn't likely be so much of a "dummy"?! :roflmao:
That also shows that things are far more complicated then they first seem since the programming still have to be extensive just to see a few small responses by artificial means.

You can believe anything they send up will have to be far more sophisticated over the brief demo someone posted on Youtube. More then likely a great deal of that however will be medical in a totally weightless environment where their's will be hooked up with an endless number of sensors and compared to things prior to launch.

That's freaky!

That's freaky!

There was a show on the Discovery Channel this weekend. I want to stress the point that I only saw the Previews and did not watch the show. It was called "Taboo". It was about people who withdraw from society and live their whole lives around dolls. I am sure that not much more description is needed to know what the show was about. == Now that is freaky.

 

[Baroness von Shush]

Each to there own , are you sure you didn't watch the whole thing? LOL!

 

[Night Hawk]

There are some people who are advert doll collectors and have some rather extravagant collections to boot. Often those are parents whose kids have grown up and moved leaving lonely parents behind especially where only one living parent remains.

As for the video clip there as well as the planned NASA launch that shows a degree of miniturization and complex programming at work for just those simple tasks. When the day comes that the waiter at the restaurant who greets you and takes your order speaks in a metallic voice then you'll be chilled!

ASIMO is probably the most advanced artificial intelligence there is at the moment.



Still an extremely long way to go until there is true AI, but when a robot can learn like that, it's certainly getting somewhere.

 

[Night Hawk]

He'll have a close competitor with Robot That Looks VERY Human

I prefer this one to the life like one.

would asimo still think the table wasn't a chair if they had removed the table-cloth? i don't think so...

(that's the trouble with these edited videos - they'll only show the positive results. i do wonder if they tried without the cloth, and asimo got it wrong, then someone had the bright idea of covering it up with a multicoloured cloth.)

still, it did learn, and i would love to have a good play with asimo - nice name, i'm sure isaac would be pleased.

as for the 'human' looking one, well its speech seems completely preprogrammed for the video...

tell me, will i dream when i get turned off?

but i am sure that if i feel anything after being powered down, then it will be the pain of missing you.

:roflmao: yeah right, the android thought that up on its own :roflmao:

It might have still thought the table was a chair without the cloth, but for basic AI like that, it could still differentiate between two objects, and still saw the similarity between two objects as well.

That life like robot does look like it's pre-programmed. It's like them chat programs that are supposedly AI that have a bunch of pre-programmed responses.

I've been following ASIMO for quite a while now, and it has come a very long way. I remember when it was struggling to walk down some steps, lol. I study AI in University, and really hope I get to meet it one day

 

[Night Hawk]

I wouldn't be surprized to hear that asimo was nothing more then a series of preprogrammed responses there either for show! You would need to present and spend some actual inperson observations in order to know if someone was genuine or simply "pulling the wool" down over eyes.

can she cook meals or just use the microwave?

That one likely has a build in microwave option! :roflmao: "ready in a minute! no standing in line at the microwave! it walks to you directly!"
