Androids: A Remarkable Approximation to the Organic
(Pacific Centre for Technology and Culture, 2011-03-18) Walraven, Aya
This talk walks through a brief history of androids in the past and present. Citing Japan as a special case, Aya Walraven explores how androids, cyborgs, and humans alike fit into society with a growing need for robotic assistance and enhancement, and touches upon the cultural roots and psychology that affects how we receive our mechanical partners.
