The document discusses the development of androids and their humanlike capabilities, including mechanisms for movement and facial expressions. It explores cognitive studies related to the 'uncanny valley' phenomenon and the potential for androids to engage in human-like communication. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of android science for understanding future interactions between humans and robots in society.

3. INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS AN ANDROID?
APPEARANCE AND BEHAVIOUR

5. ANDROID SCIENCE

6. DEVELOPMENT OF ANDROIDS

8. MECHANISMS FOR HUMANLIKE MOVEMENTS
AND REACTIONS
Acutators represent
movements of
chest,head and arms.
Function of generating
facial expressions
Dc servomotors make
un-humanlike noise.

9. TOWARD VERY HUMANLIKE MOVEMENT
Imitate real humanlike
emotions in cooperation
with master.
Attach markers of the
precise 3D motion
tracker on both android
and master

10. COGNITIVE STUDIES

11. UNCANNY VALLEY
The area of repulsive
response aroused by a
robot with appearance
and motion between a
barely human and fully
human entity is called
UNCANNY VALLEY.

12. CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS
RECOGNITION
AROUSAL THEORY
DIFFERENTIAL CORTICAL ACTIVATION THEORY
SOCIAL SIGNAL THEORY

13. POSSIBILITY OF AN ANDROID AS
A HUMAN
One is to respond with
either lies or the truth to
questions posed by the
android.
The other is to answer
seriously both easy and
difficult questions posed
by the android

14. Which is the woman and which is the machine?

16. CONCLUSION
Android science is expected to be a very fundamental
research area where principles of human-human
communications and human-robot
If robots working in our human society become reality,
there is of course the possibility of our also using
androids in our future life.
