Robot portrayals in pop culture almost always present them as thinking machines that can make decisions on their own. And perhaps engineers have finally made real-life ones do the same thing.
This is one of the biggest reasons why true self-aware machines--like the ones you often see in movies, remain in the realm of science fiction. Even if these Japanese robots can "think" to a certain degree, you can't talk about esoteric topics like the meaning of life with them.
What Does This Mean For The Future?
A thinking robot will truly usher in a new era for humanity. If the tech advances enough, then society would likely have self-aware machines that can adequately become true companions to humans.
Let's just hope that when these robots do gain the ability to think for themselves, they won't instigate the end of the human race.
Sleep well, reader.
