On Thursday, November 17th, our Faculty had an eminent guest, professor Hiroshi Ishiguro from the Osaka University, Department of Systems Innovation, Japan, who is one of the most well-known roboticists in the world. His astonishing achievements in the development of hyper-realistic android robots have been recognized even by Hollywood filmmakers (Surrogates). At the lecture, Prof. Ishiguro presented most of the results for which he is well-known, but also he presented the newest results related to the investigation of optimal humanoid robot form (appearance) which would most of the human population accept.
The perfection of androids developed in prof. Ishiguro’s lab allows them to act in the android theater, and he has announced to the audience that in April 2012 he is coming with such theater in Zagreb.
