Digital – Have you ever imagine that one day humans will have twins (clones) are identical in the figure of a robot? Yes indeed it is difficult to imagine, and perhaps this may be just sort of engineering or trick someone just to fool many people. Yes fine people think so, but who would have thought, with the development and sophistication of today’s robotic technology it seems nothing is impossible, is not it!
Human-like robot that can only been seen in movies or science fiction stories, it seems about to be closer to reality. The problem originated from the collaboration that has been done by a group of scientists from Japan and Denmark, they reportedly had just been successfully developed new Geminoid robot series of ultra-realistic android who in addition is designed in a figure similar to humans, the robot is also able to make expressions, body movements and communicate like a human being. Yes indeed a remarkable achievement and deserves high appreciation course.
Although this is merely an experiment, but this proves that a robot that can be 100% similar to humans probably is not a story about a utopian or a mere figment. And as the development of robotic technology from time to time, anything can happen later.
As what has been revealed previously, the collaboration of Japanese and Danish scientists on their own within the scope of the development of a project Geminoid DK who turned out to have lasted about a year. Geminoid robot itself was developed by Kokoro and Hiroshi Ishiguro by taking models of human figures of university professors Scharfe Aalborg, Denmark.
Prior to inhabit a lab in Denmark, said Geminoid robot must pass through stages of setting up and testing is now done in advance at Japan Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) in Nara, Japan. Geminoid robot is said to be used to examine the emotional level (emotional affordances) in human interaction with robots, the idea of ??thinking, and how the habit of a particular culture in the perception of robots.
These are some of the problems faced by Hiroshi Ishiguro when he created a clone of the previous robot Geminoid HI-1 is a figure taken from the author himself (Hiroshi Ishiguro) and Geminoid F that figure is taken from a Japanese model in her early twenties. But the professor of Osaka University and led the group in the ATR, it appears refuse when asked to provide information about his involvement with this project so far Geminoid DK.
As with other Geminoid robots, all the movements and expressions of Geminoid DK robot driven remotely by an operator using a computer. Thanks to the application of motion-capture system yand there, the robot can make facial expressions and head movements and even move the mouth though.
