 Peter Menzel / ASA / ASA, JAP.rs.33.qxxs Relaxing in his office at the Mechanical Engineering Lab in Tsukuba, Japan, Takanori Shibata pats a derivitive product from his research: a robot cat named Tama. Shibata is a roboticist who studied with MIT robot guru Rodney Brooks before heading his own lab. Omron, a Japanese engineering company, applied Shibatas discoveries to produce TamaÑa mechanical pet with sensors beneath its fur that react to sound and touch. If Shibata calls the cats name, it hunches slightly in a welcoming posture, inviting a caress. Stroking the machines back elicits a purr; loud noises cause it to startle and look around for the source of the sound. Five machines have been built thus far at half a million yen apiece (about $5,000). Omron says it has no plans as of yet to commercialize its robot cats.

 Peter Menzel / ASA / ASA, USA.rs.457.qxxs Rodney Brooks of MIT (with the latest incarnation of Cog, his humanoid robot) believes it likely that robots can achieve humanlike intelligence and consciousness. But when that happens, he says, it will be unethical to have them work for usÑwe shouldnt treat our creations as our slaves. He says, You get into the moral questionÑwould it be okay to breed a race of subhumans? Essentially, enslavers thought they were dealing with subhumans. If thats not okay, will it be okay to deliberately build subhuman machines? And certainly we feel now its okay. We dont feel any empathy for the machines but that may be a consideration ultimately. I think were a long way from having to face it É but the landscape is going to be so unimaginable that its hard to say sensible things. MIT, Cambridge, MA. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 25. |
