The robot man is designed to be socially interactive and can engage in conversations with humans and it will be very advanced technology

[{"selector":"#anim-25ae26f7-e709-4cf5-a796-ba21611596de","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee445e58-fa99-4baa-a982-8c0c5aa571a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0687b92c-549b-4cd0-af1c-1173a729708b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The robot man is not the first robot designed to look like a human, but it is one of the most advanced

[{"selector":"#anim-ee125124-5058-4cd5-af05-f263e4acac5c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd3034e2-ed59-4812-9b9b-94c77bd42336","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4c22f9f1-7fdd-4b37-a1f2-aaf9725f1da1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The development of robots with advanced AI technology is a step towards creating machines with theory of mind, the ability to attribute mental states to others

[{"selector":"#anim-d8ac5210-266c-4f25-8e83-01e103c66ff5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4d70c9af-b4b2-45ca-90f7-f6cff7d89128","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c334155-c7bc-4cc0-a727-99488ab2cd24","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Theory of mind is a key component of human cognition and is necessary for successful interactions with others within social and occupational environments

[{"selector":"#anim-0561befc-2794-47f7-8fda-b6766ec4a6fd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ebeeac55-6c0f-4fd2-9138-5de47cb6d9f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-90cedfeb-4550-4c1d-a9e1-7d8d2047e0d6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The ability to infer human mental states is also a prerequisite for artificial intelligence (AI) to be integrated into society, for example in healthcare

[{"selector":"#anim-f2bb2c60-ac19-4a48-ade7-cd6018af36b4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6021dff8-9141-40e3-8623-4f1e75da2829","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4a9375e-34d6-470a-896f-b533d5c988f0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The development of robots with theory of mind could lead to machines that are more socially savvy and can anticipate other people's actions and the consequences of our own

[{"selector":"#anim-db3ab369-a3f1-4ad9-9dfd-223cc3f8ddd5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b50b55e-aec7-4582-a060-5dc4c6acef9c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64013e34-48ca-4659-af02-b81b7cd45ba8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The development of robots with theory of mind could also be a step towards creating AI with self-awareness
