AI robots attended a football game in the US and sat with humans
The most unusual thing occurred at the SoFi
stadium in Los Angeles on September 11, 2023 during an NFL game between the
Miami Dolphins vs the Los Angeles Chargers.
During the game, four AI Robots were spotted
amongst the crowds, and this really spooked out the fans.
The robots easily blended in with the other
people as they easily passed as humans.
Viral videos online have shown the robots
watching the game, and one even greeted a fan.
However, one thing that didn’t go unnoticed
was that all these robots didn’t smile at any given time.
According to reports, the robots were there
to promote an upcoming movie called ‘The Creator’, which seemed to catch
people’s attention.
This was the first of its kind in the NFL
history, including this season which officially started on September 7, 2023.
AI Robots are known to be artificial agents
working in the real-world environment. They are programmed to manipulate
objects by perceiving things, moving, picking and destroying too.
There are five functioning humanoid robots in
the world acknowledged by mankind, and the most famous one is known as Sophia.
Below is a brief description about these
robots:
Sophia is considered the most advanced robot because she has human attributes such as kindness and can easily interact with human beings easily, unlike any other robots. The creator’s aim was to make her conversant in working in either nursing homes or as a crowd manager.
Chihira is an android robot created by
Toshiba, and works at a tourist information center in Tokyo.
As from 2017, she was equipped with a speech
recognition feature, enabling her to interact and answer tourists’ questions
directly. Apart from the tourism profession, she is able to work at old age
homes too.
Nadine’s face and hands were created by a Japanese company known as Kokoro. Just like humans, she has a personality and emotions.
Nadine is able to maintain eye contact and recall
all past conversations anyone has ever had with her.
She is equipped with a 3D camera, microphone
and a webcam that she uses to gather visual and audio information.
This robot came to be with the collaboration of a private Japanese firm and Osaka University, under the supervision of Hiroshi Ishiguro, a director of the university’s Intelligent Robotics Laboratory.
Henry Scharfe was used as inspiration when
creating the robot. While creating DK, the aim was to make it look exactly like
a human being.
This is China’s first humanoid robot and she is most known for her realistic features. Jia was created by the research team of the University of Science and Technology, China.
She is not able to make accurate and flowing
conversations yet but her beauty and appearance makes up for this.
