AI Replicas Could Merge With These Off-Shelf Humanoid Robots
Promobot develops life-like androids they say can be modeled to look like anyone on Earth. Like the Hanson Robotics bot before, Promobot attempts to mimic real human communication by way of over 600 different facial expressions. The company claims its robots already work in at least 35 countries where they focus on virtual “administrators, promoters, consultants, guides and concierges.” Though admittedly not the most glamorous route to eternal life, some intrepid transhumanists could theoretically have a Promobot built in their image and instruct it to communicate using an AI model trained on the deceased person’s voice and personality.
