About Sex Robots as Emotional Companions: Created to Please or to Love? | Robolove (Documentary, 2019)
ROBOLOVE reflects on the strategies of men and women involved with the creation of humanoid, android robots. Robots that will perhaps one day expand the human body and the human life. From an exciting variety of perspectives we understand the immense complexity of this topic. Featuring Japanese robotics guru, Hiroshi Ishiguro, to the transhumanist, Natasha Vita More - and many more. While the difference between humans and androids is gradually washing away, the tension between technology and social responsibility is growing as much as utopian visions are further expanding. From this mosaic, a tense ambivalence emerges, that questions these futuristic technologies – and is full of love for those who dare to create these new machines that try to mirror our humanness. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 02:31 - Hiroshi Ishiguro, humanoid robots ▷ 07:28 - Otonaroid ▷ 09:56 - Building androids ▷ 18:48 - Sex Robots ▷ 27:49 - Emotional companion ▷ 37:53 - Computers in a church ▷ 40:17 - Aoi Erica ▷ 44:47 - "Neutral" Cyberspace ▷ 50:40 - Pepper ▷ 57:42 - Artificial Eternity
