About Talks: 平田氏は、ジェミノイドを用いたロボット演劇を通し、演劇の側面からロボットの人間らしさを追求する。平田氏によると、「人間らしさに必要なものは「無駄な動き」であり、原理的に人間にしかできないものは、ごく限られたマイナス要素的なものだ」と言う。2500年間積み上げた演劇の叡智が、工学的研究では解析しきれない"人間らしさ"を、ロボットを通じて演出する様は必見。 "Through his robot theater starring geminoids as actors, Mr. Hirata pursues the ""humanness"" of robots from a theatrical perspective. According to Mr. Hirata, ""superfluity"" is the formula for humanlike actions, and fundamentally, only a few negative actions are exclusive to humans. He shows us how theater, with its 2500 years of history, can easily and dramatically add a human touch to robot actors--something that could not be achieved by mechanic analysis. 撮影・配信・機材協力: (株)キバンインターナショナル、(株)TIME-SHIFT 翻訳者・翻訳監修: Ehara Takeshi, ABC Loop TEDxSeeds 2011 tedxseeds.org About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
