Why is everyone responding to this so negatively? You people watch way too many horror movies. lol I personally would love to have an android to assist me around the house and in everyday life.
That is probably the creepiest thing i have seen, look at the grasping hands... Now imagine them around your throat....see not so cute now...eh? or grasping the trigger of you favorite gun and pointing at your child...AGH! the horror... you must excuse me caffeine :D
A robotic pet might be cool for old people in nursing homes who can't physically care for a pet but I'd like to see something done for the real pets who are in our shelters or living on our streets first. I hate to get all PETA on here but I think it'd be irresponsible to release a synthetic animal out to consumers when we're not taking care of what's already living.
That's the kind of thing that I had nightmares of as a child, perhaps because of gremlins and other creatures of similar kind from movies.... *shrugs* I'm terrified
Hey guys I assume his ability to learn involves nn? Does MIT have any plan integrating actual neurons and mechatronics sensors/actuators into one robot like they did in GB with Gordon?
'adorable'? check out 2.00 in, it looks like it's fighting the urge to tear poor cookie monster limb from limb with its freaky bald Beadle claws, that things evil!
Thank christ for those robot laws that protect us from these mechanised demons!
you want the toy? here get it 1:29 , hop i kiding * pulls out a gun and shoot the robot * :)) how cruel that would be? in the future some humans will consider robots as beings ....i bet many humans will even fall in love with them.
What massively freaked me out was when there was suddenly a shot of the back of it's head near the end and suddenly, that was WRONG. Bad and wrong. I'd completely fallen for the emotional tricks and believed in this cute cuddly creature - and now there were cables hooking it up to motors - ugh!
i got a question. when the robot gets artificial intelligence, how will it know what a mad face looks like? for instance, when the robot gets mad(theoretically speaking) how will it know what face to give us? in the beginning did human beings learn the facial expression of anger or did it come naturally? i heard when we give a smile, endorphins are release, making us feel better, how will that work with a robot? cause it cant feel
@JUKIO01 facial expressions are one of the few programmed behaviors in people and they have been shown over and over again to be pretty consistent across cultures (at least for basic emotions). (remember this says nothing about what makes us happy which is different across cultures...just what we do when we are happy).
So how will robots know how to give a mad face...the same way humans do by programing it directly. And how will robots know how to read a mad face...by learning
oh great, robots that are adorable that we emotionaly connect with are worse than gun toting robots, cause they can control us, and act like us, but unlike us they have no emotions.
Actually, I think Leo is cuter without all that fur. I think trying to build a robot that looks like something cute is a mistake, rather people should try to build robots that look like cute robot characters.
If these researchers could ever learn to harness the ability to have its cute little robot to learn interactions from its environment, given a vocal cord like device for speech (or simply noises or a different language like the Furby had) and made it cost effective to be made in large quantities at a fast pace, it would be the most sought after toy ever created. Kinda like that teddy bear from the movie A.I.
