What are androids?
Androids are human-looking robots. They think, talk, and make action like humans do in everyday life.
Name the three robots Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro has created for the 'Android: What is Human' exhibition? What are their respective roles?
Two females, an adult (Ononaroid), a child (Kodomoroid) , and a small baby-like robot (Telenoid). They can have conversations with people, helping to make them less "creepy." Kodomoroid can recite news articles, and speak several different languages, in different voices ranging from a high pitched girls voice to a low mans voice. Telenoid can hug people and engage in short conversations.
Why are androids more difficult to build then normal robots?
They have to make everything a human has, for example, the teeth. Then they have to carefully mold and paint the android to look like a normal human. After that they have to program it carefully to make actions like a human, and also think like a human.
I am kind of a fence sitter. I think it is pretty cool to be able to make a robot that can think like a human, but I also wouldn't want to have a conversation with one of them. It is unnatural.
