Human-like robots attract attention of many

The 2016 World Robot Conference is underway in Beijing, and has drawn
big industry names from countries such as the United States, Japan and
South Korea. One of the highlights of this year's event are so-called
'humanoid-robots', which have the ability to accurately interact with
humans.

Human-like robots attract attention of many


This intelligent human-like robot is jiajia. Developed by the University
of Science and Technology of China, Jiajia has the ability of
understanding human language, detecting facial expressions, and making
body movements.

With uncanny physical similarities to humans, such human-like robots
have been stealing the show at the 2016 World Robot Conference in Beijing.

"There are a few challenges about her. Firstly, she has to receive not
only language communication but also facial expressions. Like what she
showed just now, she can observe your facial expression, and give a
natural response, so that you can see her intelligence," Exhibitor Lu
Dongcai said.

And check out another human-like robot who impressed visitors with his
calligraphy skills, by using a similar style of calligraphy used by
legendary philosopher Wang Yangming.

Despite the rapid development in human-like robots, experts say the
technology is far from mature.

"Artificial intelligence has to go through three stages. The first stage
is being made-by-humans. The second stage is copying humans, and the
third one is replacing humans. Right now, we are in the stage of
made-by-human. If we continue at this pace, we still have a long way to
go before we reach the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence, which
is that humans will be replaced or made by robots," Xia Jiantong,
Director of Recon Group, said.

The World Robot Conference kicked off last Friday. Around 150 exhibitors
showcased their latest robot inventions there and the conference will
last through to Tuesday.
