The use of these opportunities ginoides has several advantages: assistance for elderly or disabled, the sale of shops, tourist guides, and so on. But the problem that many see is that the robotics department at the University of Osaka grazing is the "abyss" inexplicably into the valley, a principle of robotics describes that the negative reactions from people that robots seem to be. The sad thing is that the R-1 produces a lot more rejection than their predecessors as Repliee Q-2. With this we can see how advanced robotics, but they confirm the principle of the valley inexplicable description Mori nearly 40 years, and we ask ourselves when we have persocons.
