‘Father of humanoids:’ The man who made six ****** versions of himself

In 2006, ********* engineer Hiroshi Ishiguro shocked the world by creating an android copy of himself called Geminoid HI-1. Nearly twenty years later, he has built six ****** replicas of himself, with each version becoming more advanced.

In 2006, ********* engineer Hiroshi Ishiguro shocked the world by creating an android copy of himself called Geminoid HI-1.

Nearly twenty years later, the so-called “father of humanoids” has built six ****** replicas of himself, with each version becoming more advanced. 

His latest version, the Geminoid HI-6, was on display at the Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratories at Osaka University during a visit from CNBC Tech: The Edge. 

“The main feature of this version is it’s conversational. We have integrated it with a large language model, and then we have input ten of my books and almost all media interviews,” Ishiguro said in his interview with CNBC.

“Originally, I was using this ****** for giving lectures when I was busy. But now, after the lectures, this Geminoid HI-6 can answer the questions given by an audience,” he added.

The ******’s resemblance to Ishiguro is undeniable. It mimics his facial features and expressions and has real human hair and silicone skin to achieve a human feel.

However, Ishiguro does not exclusively create ****** replicas of himself. He has also developed toy robots and ****** installations. In fact, his first ever humanoid ****** was a replica of his daughter.

For decades, Japan has been a leader in robotics. Earlier this year, researchers at Tokyo University unveiled a new way of binding living skin tissue to a ******’s body, whereas the West Japan Railway introduced a humanoid ****** to carry out maintenance work on the country’s rails.

Take a look at the many creations inside Hiroshi Ishiguro’s laboratories by watching the video above.
