Weather Tomorrow In Tokyo Japan » Japan Tokyo News

The future is coming forth much faster than expected with artificial intelligent robotic androids. In Japan they are giving American research and development companies, universities and institutes a run for their money. How much further have the Japanese come? Well NASATech News reports that;

"Researchers at Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan) have constructed a robotic vocalization system that mimics the articulators used in human speech-making. Called the WT Series, the system includes robotic equivalents of the vocal cavity, tongue, vocal chords, cheeks, lips, teeth, soft palate, nasal cavity, nose, and lungs."

Soon we will have new robotic android assistants that we will barely be able to tell that they are not real and they will provide companionship for the elderly and even in-home care, which is good due to the coming crisis with the shortage of nurses.

Imagine robotic android nannies and teacher assistants for our children? Great for day care centers, referees on the playground and security guards at school. These innovations are nearly here and this is great news for our job shortage issues in the United States.

Soon robotic assistants can and will function just like regular humans only better because they will not have all the negative behavior traits unless we program those into them too. So, perhaps we have a lot to look forward too in the near future. Consider all this in 2006.
