This was a scene today in Japan.. if you had any doubts that the future was going to look very different from the past and present, read about this news conference..
Japanese androids not only held this news conference, but they also chatted with baby droids..
TECHWORLD reprots,
If you find lifelike robots unnerving, try attending a news conference held by a pair of androids.
That was the scene on Tuesday in Tokyo when the androids Kodomoroid and Otonaroid introduced a new pair of communication robots developed by an Osaka-based company, Vstone, and its partners.
Sota and CommU, each about 30cm tall, engaged in dialog with their full-sized counterparts at the Miraikan technology museum as journalists looked on, entranced. The smaller, tabletop droids can only move their arms and upper bodies, but spoke in cute Japanese resembling the speech of a toddler.
Also they may be hitting the market around April..
Real feeling and emotions next?
If you think it’s creepy, get used to it.. This is the future. The future is obviously now..
This somewhat reminded me of the episode BE RIGHT BACK of the BLACK MIRROR series, where a woman was able to purchase an android version of her deceased lover..
That, or the movie HALLOWEEN 3..
Pick your poison.
And get ready to get a little roboto in the future..
