  1. Human-Like Robots and Androids by: Andrea Sloane COMP 4620 Fall 2007

  2. Human-Like Robots and Androids are Designed to Resemble Humans in the Most Life-Like Fashion Possible • Human-like Appearance • Joint Movement • Facial Expressions • Sensors for Reacting • Speaking Ability • Ability to Pick-up, Drop, Kick and Throw Objects

  3. Repliee Q1Expo Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro • Flexible Silicone for Skin • Flutter Eyelids • Move Hands • Appears to Breathe • Sensors and Motors to Turn and React • 42 Actuators in Upper Body and Air Compressor

  4. Internal sensors allow this android to react in a natural form. For instance, it has the ability to block an attempted slap. It makes constant shifting motions that simulate human movement.

  5. EveR-2 MuseThe Entertainer Robot • Skin of Silicone • 60 Joints Throughout Face, Neck , Body • Facial Movements , Some Dancing and Singing

  6. EveR-2 Muse has the ability to make facial expressions such as joy, boredom, anger, sorrow and happiness.Robot World 2006 sang the Korean ballad “I Will Close My Eyes For You”

  7. Actroid DER2 Fembotby Koroko • Natural Expressions • Take Part in Events & Presentations • Choreograph Her Motions and Gestures with Her Voice • Appears to have Character and Personality

  8. People have been known to forget that Actroid DER2 fembot is an Android while interacting with her. They can see that it is an Android, however they react to it as if it were a human.

  9. Advantages An article from July, 9 2007 on Wired.com website states that a robot is already being used in British schools to teach Autistic children social skills. In Japan, one of their main goals is to create robots or humanoids to assist the growing elderly population in everyday tasks. Robots are being created to perform search and rescue missions, military battle and bomb detection. NASA is designing robots to act like people in order to better assist Astronauts

  10. Ethical Issues As with many other advances in our society, creating humanoids that are life-like will also create circumstances that will raise ethical issues. According to an article posted on October 12th of this year by Charles Q. Choi on MSNBC.COM, he predicts that robots are becoming so human-like in appearance that within 5 years people will actually be marrying robots. Mr. Choi states that the characteristics that a particular person finds attractive in a mate can be programmed into a robot. A robot can also be programmed to like the human counterpart whereas you can’t force another human to like you.

  11. Summary The articles that I researched for this assignment range in dates from 2005 – 2007. The Androids in this presentation represent improvements that have been made on previously created Androids. Being a Computer Science major, it is obvious that I have a love for technology. However, before taking this class, I was not aware of how far robotic technology has already advanced. Androids are most certainly in our future. Who knows, maybe one day students will be able to command their Androids to complete their assignments for them!
