Sophia, increasingly human

The reality of the indistinguishable robot is getting closer and closer. This is evidenced by the video posted some time ago by Boston Dynamics on Youtube of the robot Atlas. If you look at the movements and how stable the balance of this robot already is, it is clear to me that in a few years this will be the most normal thing in the world.

Appearances are also increasingly approaching that of humans. The developments of the company Hanson Robotics make you wonder at the resemblance to the human face. This link shows the video of the robot Sophia. Creepily real.

If you combine the two technologies, you’ll get pretty far toward a human look-a-like. Once the energy issue is solved, the only thing that remains is whether it is possible to give robots consciousness. They then become individuals, autonomous and just like humans, each with their own character and good and bad qualities. This is the area of software and sensors. There too, in my opinion, great strides will be made in the coming years. Especially since the miniaturization and speed of electronics, necessary to process large amounts of data, has by no means reached its limit. What remains are the ethical issues.

Therefore, the mass deployment of robots, in my opinion, will be a matter of time and money.
