New Android will face and the intelligence of Leonardo Da Vinci – Panama America

An android with the features of Leonardo Da Vinci, which moves and speaks phrases from the manuscripts of the Renaissance genius be so real that you can interact with people similar to the way a human being.

The robot is a creation of the Department of Robotics and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Osaka (Japan) and was presented this week at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.

This is the first android that reproduces the features of a deceased historical personage, according to the official statement of the museum.

The appearance of the Da Vinci robot, with a long white beard, bushy eyebrows and artificial skin, corresponds to how it should be the scientist in his last days, and thanks to the technology applied to facial expression, gesture recreates a true human being.

Asada also explained that the science of robotics, an area that scientific and humanistic also investigated,” requires all the different skills that had Leonardo “.

The department is responsible for developing Asada machines that can interact with people similar to the way human beings, and thus understand the operation between the human world and the artificial.

The decision to have chosen to be the Da Vinci robot historic first because it is “a symbol that combines intellect, knowledge and art,” said Asada

The research on androids have two objectives:. be tool to understand human beings and create machines like these, such as language and cognitive skills.

The museum reported that visitors can interact with Android and see how it is built only on weekends of the conference on robotics Milanese museum.

These ideas coincide again with the intention of Japan to exploit manufacturing and market robots.
