Abstract

Andrea is a non gender robot manufactured by A-Lab in Tokyo and was presented to the public at the Humanoid Lab at Stuttgart Media University in December. The aim of the project is to promote a new interdisciplinary profile at the university, bringing together research in artificial intelligence, audiovisual media, the study of user experience and digital ethics.

The author proposes a possibility of coexistence of this creature in the form of an android and its avatar, offering a new approach for the development of the AI of such artificial creatures, from simultaneous simulation platforms in the real world and in the virtual world.
