The company AI ROBOTICS was founded 2 years ago by Etienne Fresse and Yoichi Yamato, both robotics specialists working on developing cutting-edge technologies. During the last 3 years the two founders have dedicated all their time and energy to their project “robot woman LISA” which thanks to the support of numerous foreign investors will be presented to the public on June 13 2008.
The company’s philosophy is to enhance the conditions of human life and to give as many people as possible access to new technologies.
The company AI ROBOTICS is based in Kobe, Japan.
How did the project “Perfect Woman” get started?
YY: Etienne and I became friends at once. It was our common passion for robotics that brought us together, and we very soon decided to create our own robot. We wanted to use cutting-edge technology while always keeping in mind that most of all this robot was meant to serve real people.
EF: For me, everything started with a book called Love + Sex with Robots: the Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships by David Levy. I had always thought that one day technology would allow us to create a robot that would be able to perfectly imitate human behaviour. With Lisa we succeeded.
Which cutting-edge technology did you use to create Lisa?
YY: We created a technology called RKS, “Recognition Krax System”, which allows for vocal, tactile and visual recognition. Lisa is able to recognize objects and persons and she can even differentiate between roses and tulips for example.
