The Thinking Robot
Press headlines frequently refer to robots that think like humans, have feelings, or even behave ethically, but are these simply sensationalist hype? The question of robot intelligence intrigues Professor Alan Winfield, Director of the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England, Bristol. What’s the current state-of-the-art in robot intelligence, and could we design robots that are not only more intelligent but also have a sense of self? If so, would they think like animals, or even humans?
