 Hiroshi Ishiguro is the Director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University in Japan. Professor Ishiguro is one of the world's most distinguished robotics engineers and is best known for his work with androids. A thinker of extraordinary originality, he has pursued a deeply philosophical approach to the field of robotics throughout his career. The fundamental question his work seeks to address is what is a human being? For the past 10 years, their collaboration with Professor Ishiguro has enabled AU researchers to develop new perspectives on Robo-Philosophy, a collaboration which matured into the research unit for Robo-Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy and History of Ideas. The most important impact is that I have developed a very human-like robot called an android. And the most important contribution is to establish the human-robot interaction studies. More than 10 years ago, I was running the field of testing in Denmark by using my small interactive robots. It is called a terinoid. And then, eventually, I met office people. The office people were quite interesting because they were studying about a philosophy with a robot. And then we have discussed the possibility of collaborations. And of course, that discussion was quite interesting. I thought it's quite important to work with the philosophical people by using my robot. And after that, we are working together and we are running a conference and we are running a project together. For about 10 years, Professor Ishiguro has been collaborating with what is now called the Research Unit for Robo-Philosophy and Integrative Social Robotics at AU on various interdisciplinary research projects. And on our joint vision that robotics can become philosophy with other means. He is driven by the philosophical question, what is a human being? But he takes this question to its next step. He goes beyond contemplation and explores with construction.
