It will be that we are with the imagination of the replicants of the Blade Runner, with the Androids of Alien or with those of Westworld, a film by Michael Crichton from 1973 and then HBO series in 2016, where rich tourists could go to a Wild West themed park populated with androids and with whom one could do what you wanted, in fact between one robot and the other there is a lot of people who are working proper On the androids.
So much so that the 40 -second protoclone video, an android of the Polish startup Clone Robotics (said among other things that they had taken inspiration from Westworld) returned viral. His body simulates that of a human body, has 500 sensors, 200 degrees of freedom of movement, muscle fibers with a response time of thirty milliseconds. The co -founder of the Clone Robotics, Dhanush Radhakrishna, said that it will be “the epicenter of the era of the Androids”, also because in 2025 279 specimens of the Alpha version will be released.
The comments go from enthusiasm to ethical concern: Beppe Grillo’s blog was the first to be terrified of it, the usual speeches on the man replaced by the androids, or on their hypothetical danger.
A little disturbing is, also for how they presented it in the video on X: hanging on cables, completely white, the black head inclined forward, and the legs that move crossed by veins, a mix between Frankenstein and an albino in a torture chamber. Do they want to scare us? I think that with Beppe Grillo they succeeded, but worse than the grillini what will the protoclones ever be able to do?
