One day, your grandchild will ask you about the rise of robots and the story you tell will start with a Japanese creation named Alter (or the Russian one which escaped the factory – let’s let them battle it out).
Both of the robotic creations have one important thing in common: they learn as they “live”.
The Japan Science Museum will be hosting Alter – a human-like robot whose movements are entirely governed by a neural network (a learning computer system modeled after the structure of neurons in the human brain), and devoid of human involvement – until 6 August and it does some creepy stuff.
Just watch this:
Created by a Japanese robotics company, Alter works by using a series of sensors that “detect proximity, humidity, noise, and temperature of the room it’s in,” according to Quartz. So if the room changes temperature, or many people come close to the bot, influences are made on its movements.
And to make nightmares a reality, the noise the bot makes occurs according to the movements of its fingers – and is refereed to as “singing”.
Creep.
