    Modelling User Preference for Embodied Artificial Intelligence and Appearance in Realistic Humanoid Robots

    Article Modelling User Preference for Embodied Artificial Intelligence and Appearance in Realistic Humanoid Robots Carl Strathearn 1,* and Minhua Ma 2,* 1 School of Computing and Digital Technologies, Staffordshire University, Staffordshire ST4 2DE, UK 2 Falmouth University, Penryn Campus, Penryn TR10 9FE, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.S.); [email protected] (M.M.) Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 29 July 2020; Published: 31 July 2020 Abstract: Realistic humanoid robots (RHRs) with embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) have numerous applications in society as the human face is the most natural interface for communication and the human body the most effective form for traversing the manmade areas of the planet. Thus, developing RHRs with high degrees of human-likeness provides a life-like vessel for humans to physically and naturally interact with technology in a manner insurmountable to any other form of non-biological human emulation. This study outlines a human–robot interaction (HRI) experiment employing two automated RHRs with a contrasting appearance and personality. The selective sample group employed in this study is composed of 20 individuals, categorised by age and gender for a diverse statistical analysis. Galvanic skin response, facial expression analysis, and AI analytics permitted cross-analysis of biometric and AI data with participant testimonies to reify the results. This study concludes that younger test subjects preferred HRI with a younger-looking RHR and the more senior age group with an older looking RHR. Moreover, the female test group preferred HRI with an RHR with a younger appearance and male subjects with an older looking RHR.

Designing Women: Essentializing Femininity in AI Linguistics Abstract Since the eighties, feminists have considered technology a force capable of subverting sexism because of technology’s ability to produce unbiased logic. Most famously, Donna Haraway’s “A Cyborg Manifesto” posits that the cyborg has the inherent capability to transcend gender because of its removal from social construct and lack of loyalty to the natural world. But while humanoids and artificial intelligence have been imagined as inherently subversive to gender, current artificial intelligence perpetuates gender divides in labor and language as their programmers imbue them with traits considered “feminine.” A majority of 21st century AI and humanoids are programmed to fit emalef stereotypes as they fulfill emotional labor and perform pink-collar tasks, whether through roles as therapists, query-fillers, or companions. This paper examines four specific chat-based AI --ELIZA, XiaoIce, Sophia, and Erica-- and examines how their feminine linguistic patterns are used to maintain the illusion of emotional understanding in regards to the tasks that they perform.

    Anthropomorphic Machines: Alien Sensation and Experience in Nonhumans Created to Be Like Us

    Anthropomorphic machines: alien sensation and experience in nonhumans created to be like us by Tessa Gwendoline Leach ORCID 0000-0002-0560-7667 Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) June 2018 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree i Abstract This thesis is positioned at the intersection between technology studies and the nonhuman turn in the humanities. It argues that typical approaches to the study of technology omit any consideration of the alien nature of nonhuman sensation and experience. The discussion of metaphysical theory aimed at redressing this omission is grounded in this thesis in the study of specific case studies of anthropomorphic machines, objects which are typically surrounded by human-centric rhetoric. There are four main case studies presented. The first, the Microsoft Kinect for Xbox One, is a sensor designed for use in videogames. The second is the “robot tortoises” (Machina speculatrix) designed by William Grey Walter in the 1940s and 50s. The third is the language- using artificial intelligence program SHRDLU developed by Terry Winograd between 1968 and 1972. The fourth is the concept of the gynoid (female humanoid robot) and particularly the gynoid sexbot. Each of these case studies has previously been analysed in Science and Technology Studies, Cultural Studies or Engineering, and this thesis builds on this past work by giving primacy and due consideration to the alien in these anthropomorphic technologies. The thesis aims to decentre the anthropomorphic qualities of machines that are often foregrounded in both engineering and critical texts. This is done both by emphasising the alien nature of nonhuman sensation and experience, and through anthrodecentric theory and language.

    Living with Harmony: A Personal Companion System by Realbotix™ Kino Coursey, Susan Pirzchalski, Matt McMullen, Guile Lindroth, and Yuri Furuushi Abstract Existing personal assistants and agents are by design limited in their abil- ity to form or encourage close personal bonds. The Harmony system is designed to be a customizable personal companion agent capable of close personal interaction via the user's phone, virtual reality headset, as well as through a physical interactive android body. In this chapter, we will describe the history that led to Harmony’s creation, the unique challenges and the overall system design. We will also look at user reactions to the system and anticipated future developments. Keywords Androids · Personal assistant · Virtual reality · Realbotix · Embodied agent · Companion agent K.

Although the development of such a robot faces many challenges, the making of a virtual human has long been potentially possible. With recent advances in various key technologies related to hardware and software, the making of humanlike robots is increasingly becoming an engineering reality.
