简介

Dr. Ishiguro Hiroshi is the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory in the System Innovation Department of the Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka University in Japan. One of the important achievements of the laboratory is the development of the humanoid robot Actroid. Actroid has a realistic appearance, flexible facial expressions, and can move freely like a human. In terms of robot development, Ishiguro is committed to creating humanoid robots as realistic as possible. At the naming ceremony for the female robot Repliee Q1 Expo in July 2005, he said, 'I have developed many robots before, but soon I realized the importance of appearance.'. A robot that looks very similar to a person will have a strong sense of existence. Repliee Q1 Expo can interact with people and respond to those who touch her. Although we still have a long way to go, this achievement is gratifying. In his opinion, it is possible to develop a robot that is no different from a real person in a short period of contact. Ishiguro Hiroshi has developed a robot named Geminoid that looks just like him. Geminoid appeared in the BBC2 Robot Documentary Concept - Human Machine hosted by James May on October 5, 2008. In addition, he also developed a communication robot called Telenoid R1 and applied it to classroom teaching at Osaka University. He can manually make Geminoid exhibit human characteristics such as blinking, breathing, and restlessness. On May 15, 2011, the Journal of Asian Scientists evaluated Ishiguro as one of the 15 outstanding Asian scientists. Dr. Ishiguro graduated from the Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka University and served as an associate professor at Kyoto University, a visiting researcher at the University of San Diego, California, and a professor at Wakayama University and Osaka University. He has won numerous awards, including the Science and Technology Award MEXT issued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology, the Best Paper Award at the 2nd and 4th Association of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Human Machine Interaction Conference in April 2015, the Best Humanoid Robot Award at the Robotics World Cup in March 2009, and the 2006 Robotics World Cup.
