Hi,
David Hart just pointed out this guy to me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiro_Mori
I had never heard of him, but maybe some of you have.
It's some fairly wild robo-Buddhistic philosophy ;-)
The comments at
http://www.karakuri.info/perspectives/
about differences btw Japanese and Western attitudes to robotics seem
right-on.
Westerners tend to fear uberhuman killer megalomaniac robots, whereas
Japanese tend to think of robots as their little buddies...
Of course, each perspective has its partial truth to it...
