According to reports, a few days ago, the Kodaiji Temple in Japan demonstrated the intelligent robot Guanyin Minder, which aims to explain the teachings of Buddhism to modern people in a simple and understandable manner.
It is understood that Minder is researched and developed by Osaka University professor Ishiguro Hiroshi and others, and the research and development cost is 100 million yen (about 6 million yuan). In terms of appearance, Minder is about 195 cm tall and weighs about 60 kg. The head, arms and body can be rotated, and a camera is installed in the left eye.
Researchers have programmed into Minder's system that can tell the Buddhist language of the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra. At that time, the robot will join hands with dreamy images and music using light-sculpting projection technology to join hands or give lectures.
Judging from the demo video sent out at the scene, Minder is positioned as a female, and will rotate her torso on her own during the explanation process, as well as some other body and facial movements. Judging from the sound alone, if you don't know in advance that Minder's body is a robot, I believe many people will think that this peaceful voice explaining the Buddha's meaning belongs to a gentle woman.
It is reported that Minder will be open to the public from March 8 to May 6. In the future, Minder's functions will also be further upgraded, such as the image recognition function based on the left-eye camera, which cooperates with humans to make corresponding actions.
As we all know, compared to other countries, Japan has always had great vision and enthusiasm for robots. This can be seen in some of their cultural animation works, such as the world-renowned anime "Mobile Suit Gundam". And based on a strong interest, the Japanese are also happy to "toss" robots.
Before placing robots in temples and shaping them into "Buddha Interpreters", the Japanese have placed robots in many different work scenarios, such as robot nurses in hospitals with simulated human shapes that can make a variety of expressions, and For example, the robot priests in the auditorium who replaced humans to host funerals, and even robots that participated in the mayoral election under the promotion of humans, and promised to "provide fair and balanced opportunities for everyone"...
It can be seen that in terms of application, robots with human help are gradually infiltrating all aspects of people's lives, and the Japanese people's brains in this aspect can also be described as nearly extreme. However, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the existence of these applications and the possibility of future implementation that people have the motivation to keep trying.
