I believe with more advancement in artificial intelligence the robot will become truly interactive one day.<BR/><BR/>Wu Zhenyu<BR/>U036584NAssistivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006065314130625352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175873470039226332007-04-06T23:31:00.000+08:002007-04-06T23:31:00.000+08:00sorry forgot my name in the last post.-Nitin Batra...sorry forgot my name in the last post.<BR/>-Nitin Batra U048708YAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175873415496631282007-04-06T23:30:00.000+08:002007-04-06T23:30:00.000+08:00yep as stated earlier by buck sin, sony has discon...yep as stated earlier by buck sin, sony has discontinued work on qrio and no more research will be taking place on this humanoid.

Does it actually understand the use of these words, or does it just starts to mimic the word patterns of the people it converses with.<BR/><BR/>This is an interesting experiment. Especially interesting since why do people want to make robots that imitate human beings. The technology used in navigating is interesting, but I am more interested the complexity and self evolution (if there is) of the intelligence. Or is it a mere doll that has some fancy tricks up it's sleeve.<BR/><BR/>I'm waiting for the day I can say "I for one welcome our QRIO overlords" LOL.dars.edutainmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571119680222961511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175790654692785202007-04-06T00:30:00.000+08:002007-04-06T00:30:00.000+08:00Although this robot can dance, converse and sing, ...Although this robot can dance, converse and sing, it still lacks the agility, the expressions human possesses which are essential in dancing and singing. I am sure most people wont pay to just watch a robot dance and sings as it is just too mechanical and the robot cannot respond to the atmosphere and audience's feelings.<BR/><BR/>Choo Teck Kwang Adrian U036224UHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887832757562395900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175668438001233832007-04-04T14:33:00.000+08:002007-04-04T14:33:00.000+08:00Comment from Jin Yunye U037842WTo Vivian, I think ...Comment from Jin Yunye U037842W<BR/><BR/>To Vivian, I think the problem of whether robots can have creativity and emotion cannot be so easily answered. What if the technology is so advanced in future that we understands exactly how human brain and other parts works and we are able to build a robotic system working with exactly the same mechanisms and having the same level of sophistication. When such a thing "thinks", it go through the same procedure as things happened in a real human brain. Could we say such a thing cannot be creative or emotional? I cannot find a clear answer.<BR/><BR/>As in the aspect of entertainment. I cannot totally agree with Ronghua. When we see performance, don't we also enjoy the freedom in expression and creativity of the performer? Although, I personally think we cannot eliminate the possibility for a robot performer to have these abilities. Currently ORIO is still no compare to human performer in these aspects. <BR/><BR/>I remember Dr.Prahlad mentioned Honda Asimo in lecture. I wonder how is it compared to QRIO.

Since it can sing, dance and even response to individual. Compared to humans whom you can't control them, you can definitely shut down QRIO when you find it too noisy.Medicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113871826661688545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175608206074902752007-04-03T21:50:00.000+08:002007-04-03T21:50:00.000+08:00No matter how well a robot mimics human actions an...No matter how well a robot mimics human actions and words, it can never contain the creativity and emotions of humans.
