Scientist unveils his doppelganger - a robot perfect in every detail, including his hair


Quote: "Japanese robotics expert Hiroshi Ishiguro has unveiled a robot doppelganger of himself.

Germinoid is a humanoid robot designed in his creator's image, down to the tiniest of details.

It sits on a chair and gazes around the room in a very human-like fashion, just like its creator. "


Quote: "The skin tone, the spectacles, and even the lengthy hairs on its head are the same as on Ishiguro, a senior researcher at ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communication Laboratories outside Kyoto.

Implanted beneath Geminoid's skin are 50 sensors and motors that can be controlled by simple movements Dr Ishiguro makes. "





This thing is really cool

That's pretty creepy though. It looks real in the pictures

.
Quote: "This week, British roboticists attacked a report commissioned by the government's chief science adviser, David King, which suggests the robots will one day have rights.

The report claimed that advances in artificial intelligence might lead future machines to demand rights and the opportunity to vote.

Scientists dismissed the report as poorly founded and a diversion from more pressing concerns, such as autonomous robots being developed and equipped with weapons. "


You know, once AI gets good enough, there's no reason why a robot wouldn't get the idea it should be allowed to vote. That is of course if it wasn't programmed with a restriction. However. What if the robot was spart enough to learn how to reprogram himself

The future could be interesting.

Robots with weapons... Actually, if it saves human lives I think it's good. If we must blow each other away, it's better to let the robots do it. However, robots wouldn't have emotions, they could kill anything they were ordered to kill. Bah... so much for saving lives.
