Attempts to Create Human Like Robots

• -Chris Millican

What Makes defines Human?

• Human Behavior can be defined as follows
• Cognoscente thinking
• Intrapersonal communication
• Ability to adjust to an environment
• Is it possible to mimic these behaviors?

3
Cognoscente Thinking

• Artificial Creativity
• Branch of AI based on trying to make computers
  creative.
• What is creative?
• Can a computer ever be creative
• Computer generated art (draw-something)
• Is the program the artist or is it the programmer?

4
Artificial Creativity

• 3 Approaches
• Emergent Property
• Development of complex organized systems
• Genetic Algorithms
• Search technique used in comptuer to find true or
  approximate solutions to optimization and search
  problems.
• Artificial Neural Networks
• Interconnected group of artificial neurons that
  uses a mathematical model or computation model
  for information processiong based on a
  connectionist approach to computation

5
Applications of Artifical Creativity

• Computer Generated Music
• Music composed by, or with extensive aide from, a
  computer.
• Musikalisches Wüfelspiel
• Uses the throw of a dice to create randomly
  generated music
• Other uses
• Linguistics
• Automated Design
• Automated Invention

6
Intrapersonal Communication

• There are several robotic approaches used to
  simulate the human sensors
• Pattern Recognition
• The act of taking in raw data and taking an
  action based on the category of the data
• Examples
• Optical character recognition
• Speech recognition
• Face recognition
• Handwriting recognition

Mimicking Humanity

Mimicking Human Behavior

• Hanson Robotics
• Hanson Robotics is responsible for several
  realistic based robots such as the previously
  watched Jules, the famous Einstein Robot, and
  K-bot
• Jules
• Face Feature tracking
• Interpreted visual data was assembled into a 3D
  world model and correclated with natural language
  processing
• Frubber
• Lifelike materials used that ultimately requires
  1/20th the energy of other materials

Mankind attempts to be robotic

• I propose that robots are further towards being
  human than humans are towards being robotic?
