A project to build a robot with the intelligence of a three year-old

Hanson Robotics has launcheda new Indigogo campaignto make “ the world ’s smart robot . ” NamedAdam Z1 , the robot will eventually be able to verbalise , play with toys , draw pictures , and respond with emotions .

And the project is no jape . Robot designer and researcherDavid Hansonhas pooled together three other expert in this area , admit OpenCog Artificial General Intelligence ( AGI ) labor founderBen Goertzel , roboticistMark Tilden , and knowingness theoristGino Yu . Hanson himself is the Divine of the robots Einstein , Zeno , Robokind , Brina 48 , and others .

This approximation — germinate a automaton with a child ’s intelligence — is interesting for two reasons . First , an AGI need a soundbox . And second , an AGI evolve over prison term and through experiences .

KurzweilAI recentlyspoke to Goertzel :

“ My goal as you know is to create AGI with human level and at long last greater world-wide intelligence agency , ” he said . “ But to get there , we need to create AGIs with canonical common sense understanding of the everyday human world . And the easy way to get an AGI to have canonical commonsense savvy of the everyday human world , is to give it some rough bringing close together of a human incarnation and allow it experience the universe like a human . That ’s the enquiry purpose …

“ There are also shorter term hardheaded lotion , e.g. , Hanson Robokind ’s primary mean near - term software area is for education … to use robots as an educational puppet for instruct computer programming . Hanson Robokind robots are already being used to assist teach autistic kids .

Not that longsighted from now , full - sized humanoid robot will be in wide consumption as personal assistants , etc . And cheaper versions will be far-flung as toys before long : think “ RoboSapien with a precious face and a cloud - found mind . ”

And interestingly , the squad contrive on make Adam Z1 ’s computer software free and open source for others to improve upon .

Of naturally , the ethics of such a labor is another affair entirely — a topic I will touch upon in a future postal service .
