MAN AND MACHINE
Scence and technology have come a long way since the neenth century, when leonarde da Mud sketched
mechanical figure that looked like men - the first known robot designs. These days of course robots are
everywhere, from factories to space stations, and they perform any number of tasks, from cutting the grass to
performing surgery. However, unul recently most of them have not resembled the human figure, as Leonardo
imagined and they certainly haven't had feelings. Now all that is beginning to change.
Imagine a world in which robots not only look like us but also sense and respond to our moods, and even feel
emotions. In such a world. It might be possible to think of a robot as a friend rather than a thing, Scientists predict
that robots such as these will indeed exist qulte soon. Already they have produced the heart robot', which looks
like a large puppet. The 'heart robot responds to sound, movement and touch. Its bright red heart, which is
visible through its plastic body, beats Master if you handle it roughly, or shout at it. Its heart slows down if you are
gentle with in its limbs relax and its eyelids Mutter It's easy to believe it actually feels emotion.
Long before the 'heart robot', science fiction writers imagined robots with human characteristics. In 1968 the
film 2001: A Space Odyssey featured a speaking computer called HAL that finally gous crazy. A decade later.
the first Star Wars film appeared, with robots R2-D2 and C-3P0 playing main parts alongside humans. the
year 2000, a robot with a human figure, remarkably similar to R2-D2, was invented. ASIMO la 1.3 metres tall
and can walk and run, but that's not all - it can recognise different laces, voices and gestures. It's true that so
far 'humanoid' robots like ASIMO do not really move, talk or respond in the way we humans do, but they are
becoming more sophisticated all the time. In Japan, designers are working on robots that can play football. Thelr
challenge (they call it "Robocup') is to produce a team of robots that will be able to play the team that wins of the
World Cup in 2050.
Although the 'heart robot' cannot walk and talk just yet, it seems inevitable that at some point in the not too
distant future its sensitive, beating heart will be added to the body of a robot that is capable of playing world class
football. And then we will truly be in the world of science fiction!
