Sex and the single robot

Scientists have made them walk and talk. There are even robots that can run.
But a South Korean professor is poised to take their development several
steps further, and give cybersex new meaning.
Kim Jong-Hwan, the director of the ITRC-Intelligent Robot Research Centre,
has developed a series of artificial chromosomes that, he says, will allow
robots to feel lusty, and could eventually lead to them reproducing. He says
the software, which will be installed in a robot within the next three months,
will give the machines the ability to feel, reason and desire.
Kim, a leading authority on technology and ethics of robotics, said: "Christians
may not like it, but we must consider this the origin of an artificial species.
Until now, most researchers in this field have focused only on the functionality
of the machines, but we think in terms of the essence of the creatures." That
"essence" is a computer code, which determines a robot's propensity to "feel"
happy, sad, angry, sleepy, hungry or afraid. Kim says this software is modelled
on human DNA, though equivalent to a single strand of genetic code rather
than the complex double helix of a real chromosome.
Kim said: "Robots will have their own personalities and emotion and - as films
like I Robot warn - that could be very dangerous for humanity. If we can provide
a robot with good - soft - chromosomes, they may not be such a threat."
Although he admits his ideas sound fantastic, Kim is no crank. In the mid-1990s,
the professor launched the robot football world cup, which has since become
one of the most popular means for robotics researchers to measure their
progress against competitors from around the world.
