چکیده
In the development of humanoids, both the appearance and behavior of the robots are significant issues. However, designing the robot’s appearance, especially to give it a humanoid one, was always a role of industrial designers. To tackle the problem of appearance and behavior, two approaches are necessary: one from robotics and the other from cognitive science. The approach from robotics tries to build very humanlike robots based on knowledge from cognitive science. The approach from cognitive science uses the robot to verify hypotheses for understanding humans. This cross-interdisciplinary framework is called android science. This conceptual paper introduces developed androids and states key issues in android science. KEY WORDS—android, android science, humanoid, appearance, cognitive study, uncanny valley, synergt effect, total Turing test

Do Medieval and Renaissance Androids Presage the Posthuman?
In his article "Do Medieval and Renaissance Androids Presage the Posthuman?" Kevin LaGrandeur analyzes the relationships between literary images of artificial humans associated with medieval alchemists and alchemy, their modified reemergence in the Renaissance, and how such androids may forecast the idea of a posthuman subjectivity that is connected with their present-day descendents. For examp...
متن کاملEvaluating the Uncanny Valley
Over the last decade, research has been conducted on the potential of androids to evoke uncanny sensations in humans (the so-called uncanny valley phenomenon): Experiments focussing on robot appearance have shown that static images of androids can avoid uncanniness if they are designed to be aesthetically pleasing. However, the appeal of such androids may only be achieved at the expense of phys...
متن کاملAndroid Science and the Animal Rights Movement: Are There Analogies?
The day is already here when androids perform tasks and act in ways which seem to be human. However, as of now, no one is prepared to view these man-made creations as anything other than property to be used for our benefit or entertainment. As the systems become more sophisticated, and as engineers try harder to build “conscious” machines, I suggest that a number of moral, ethical, and legal is...
متن کاملUnderstanding Humans by Building Androids
In the near future, we are going to use interactive humanoids in our daily life. They will provide various services by using the communication functions. In order to realize the robot society, we have to investigate many issues. The ideal humanoid is a human since the human brain has functions to recognize humans. This means that we need to study human for building more humanlike robots. Once w...
متن کاملHow to Detect an Android
A number of prominent researchers in Artificial Intelligence look forward to a time when androids will co-exist with humans. In such a world the question ‘Can machines think?’ will be answered in the affirmative, if it is asked at all. A far more pressing problem will be whether androids can be differentiated from humans in some way. It is argued that an undetectable android cannot be manufactu...
