A humanoid robot which responds to human voices and can speak has been developed by researchers in South Korea.
HUBO can walk at speeds of up to 1.25 kilometres per hour and can move five fingers.
Professor Oh Joon-ho, the leader of HUBO research group says his team has spent three years and about one million dollars developing the robot.
The group is based at Korea Advanced Institutes of Science and Technology in Daejuon City.

Vienen! Vienen!

Science of the sake of science, knowledge for the sake of knoweldge, with utter disregard to the future impacts and revelations that a discovery may evoke: isn't that the very essence of man's corruption?

Until they make a sex-bot or a hillybilly-bot who'll drink beer and smash the empties on it's forehead I'm not interested.

Once I get my sex-bot it's goodbye life, hello WD-40 and lots and lots of sickleave.

That's nasty. I guess catching the "kid" whack'n it would probably be walking in while he's going to town on a wall socket.

Or this super model wants kids, but wants the bot to bear them...

Not to mention the things where they stick the electrodes and stuff into the brain and try to make a computer-mind connection.

Well, one way of programming is to figure out how to program a machine to experience happiness.

Then you just have to make it so that whenever they do something, they experience happiness.




Next thing we'll have is head shrinks for robots.

How can you quantify "happiness" to a robot though? Aside from "hard coding" and defining what happiness is?
