Faux Friends A Look into Biologically Inspired Humanoids
Faux Friends SMH has a very interesting article that looks into humanoids -- Faux Friends. The article covers the whole spectrum of issues involving such robots. This includes the motivation for making them human like in order to comfort their users, or the trend of biologically inspired robots. The article also raises a pertinent point about the fixed behaviours most humanoids become famous for: ""Most of their stuff is pre-programmed, which means all of those demos you see are just a normal sequence of operations, there's no feedback."" That leads on very nicely into learning, and how imitation seems the easiest way of doing things. Anway, there's something for everyone in there! | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts.
