"Humanoid" by Max Aguilera Hellweg

04.2017 - Within just a few years, research and development of artificial intelligence has made huge steps forward. Photographer Max Aguilera-Hellweg spent six years following some of the world’s leading research facilities in robot engineering in the United States and Japan. His book „Humanoid“ shows how artificial intelligence is being integrated into human-like bodies and how robots become more and more able to interact. Within the next two generations, even marriages between humanoids an humans will be possible, artificial intelligence expert Dr. David Levy stated. He also wrote the foreword in „Humanoid“.
