It is expected that basic technologies of the robot intelligence with which humanoid
robots can respond to social needs will be ready around 2025. At that time,
they can serve as caregivers and housekeepers, and can comfort users with their
similar looks to humans. We consider that humanoid robots potentially have effective
user interfaces as personal tools for non-specialists and non-specialized uses
since they are the ultimate anthropomorphic machines. We also predict that further
progress in humanoid robot development will promote leading-edge robot technologies
in a similar manner to F1 in the automobile field. ‘Super-humanoid’ robots that
have super-human capabilities are expected to appear about 2050.

Basically, we all die in 2050?

When will we get moe robots?

[Anonymous No.]

The best part is, even if household androids were available to own(sexdroids included) /jp/ users wouldn't even be able to get one.

Don't worry though the normalfags will have plenty of fun with them for you

I'm sure the shitstorm regarding the morality of robots will be glorious when we reach that point.

Banned by the EN because the robots can't say no.

The idea of "raping" a robot that doesn't understand the concept of rape gets my rocks off for some reason.

Traditional robots will never get that far. We'll go along the course of genetic engineering instead.

Genetics is one giant riddle currently. We're easily 100 years from understanding it enough to turn living creatures into clay. And even then, the usefulness is limited as no one can figure out how to make macroscopic changes in an adult.

Robots on the other hand are based on technology we already understand. The only thing stopping us from having androids right now is that no one is pouring billions of dollars into it, because there's very little reason to make an android.

Also, the practicality of robotics is greater then living creatures:

A robot requires a battery essentially. Battery technology is advancing, and its conceivable that you could produce a battery that would power a robot of human capabilities very conveniently. The android would probably spend less time recharging then humans do eating.

One human on the other hand, requires literally tons of food to support himself. If you were to create a human with vastly increased physical capabilities, they would require vastly increased amounts of food to support their higher metabolism.

Quite simply, biology isn't a practical alternative to machinery. Theres a reason we use trucks instead of animals to move our goods; trucks are faster, have more fuel and mechanical endurance, and can carry more weight.

And have you ever seen an elephant pick up a two ton frame and move it with perfect precision?

Quite simply, when you place an android next to a "bioroid", the android is superior in every single way. And the android doesn't complain about things like poor pay and working conditions.

Your grasp of the English language is poor, which makes it harder to take you seriously.

That aside, robots are useful for handling automated tasks, but not much else. Among other things, we have much more understanding of genetics than we do artificial intelligence at this point, so artificial *life* will probably be genetics-based rather than robotics-based.

But this is mostly just a guess, so...

Well judging by what I've read about using mouse brains to drive a robot body around a maze and fly a flight simulator, I think that AI will probably take the form of some sort of cyborg. And besides, it doesn't take either hard or soft AI to make an android; as long as the android could reproduce human social reactions, and complete tasks set before it I'm pretty sure it would satisfy most people's expectations.

But that's pretty useless for more advanced applications, isn't it? Humans have evolved to this level of intelligence for a reason. Programmed responses can only go so far...

I hope my parents don't throw me out before we reach technological singularity. I, for one, welcome our self evolving robot overlords.
