Consider this:
When Inventions go wrong: A robot meant to show
love goes too far!
Researchers at Toshiba’s Akimu Robotic Research
Institute were thrilled ten months ago when they
successfully programmed Kenji, a third generation
humanoid robot, to convincingly emulate certain
human emotions. At the time, they even claimed that Kenji was capable of the robot equivalent of love. Now, however, they fear that his programming has taken an extreme turn for the worst.
Kenji was part of an experiment involving several
robots loaded with custom software designed to let
them react emotionally to external stimuli. After
some limited environmental conditioning, Kenji first
demonstrated love by bonding with a a stuffed doll in his enclosure, which he would embrace for hours at a time. He would then make simple, but insistent, inquiries about the doll if it were out of sight. Researchers attributed this behavior to his
programmed qualities of devotion and empathy and
called the experiment a success. The trouble all started when a young female intern began to spend several hours each day with Kenji, testing his systems and loading new software routines. When it came time to leave one evening, however, Kenji refused to let her out of his lab enclosure and used his bulky mechanical body to block her exit and hug her repeatedly. The intern was only able to escape after she had frantically phoned two senior staff members to come and temporarily de-activate Kenji. Ever since that incident, each time Kenji is re-
activated, he instantaneously bonds with the first
technician to meet his gaze and rushes to embrace
them with his two 100kg hydraulic arms. It doesn’t
help that Kenji uses only pre-recorded dog and cat
noises to communicate and is able to vocalize his
love through a 20 watt speaker in his chest.
Dr. Takahashi admits that they will more than likely
have to decommission Kenji permanently, but he’s
optimistic about one day succeeding where Kenji
failed.
Be careful, that person you dream to have in your
arms might be a robot too!

Lwkmd...... The robot is bisexual and a potential cheat.

Here are the images and the link

This is obviously false.

No computer scientist as of now, is capable of building a robot that can do unexpected things.

So what's ur take on it ?

Sit down there while people are inventing things everyday, I guess u still operate on the analog form of life.

Let me get this straight. A robot was created which at a certain point began making its own decisions without the influence of programming and iam just hearing about it ?

You mean a robot has been created capable of feeling emotions and the scientific world hasnt gone agog?

Abeg E get wetin person no suppose dey believe sef.

So Kenji the robot developed konji. Kenji na bas.... you know!

man . . . ironically, it is the analog form of life that produces love. digital logic is binary. and is currently incapable of independent connections outside of programming.
