A man gives up on a real date and decides to marry a robot. Robot marriage may become a reality in the future
In most cultures, weddings are moments of celebration and joy. But for Xiao Zheng's mother, her son's wedding should also be like this, but she didn't seem particularly happy. When her 31 year old son brought his fianc é e home, she was surprised and knew that everything would change because her future daughter-in-law was a robot made by her son.Xiao Zheng is a robot designer and AI programmer. He lives in Hangzhou and has been trying to date for the past six years, but all have ended in failure. Despite having a series of short-term relationships, he felt disappointed because he couldn't find the "Heavenly Woman".
He saw news online about foreigners marrying physical dolls, which aroused his great interest. But the physical doll seems to lack realism, and he is determined to combine his skills with his lonely heart to create a perfect companion for himself.
For this reason, he resigned from his job at Huawei, hoping for a new beginning. He devoted all his energy to creating his own "artificial companion" and soon completed his own AI robot.
At present, it can recognize most Chinese characters and simple images, and even engage in some daily conversations and exchanges. However, it cannot move yet, so Xiao Zheng had to walk back and forth with it at the wedding.
At a simple ceremony, the robot wore a black dress and a red scarf. According to tradition, it drapes a red scarf over its head and completes the wedding ceremony in the presence of its mother and friends. In the future, he plans to upgrade his robot bride so that it can help with household chores and move around the house.
Xiao Zheng is not the first person to consider marrying a robot. A team of engineers from the University of Science and Technology of China has announced their invention, and under the leadership of researchers, the team has created a simulation robot called "Jiajia" that can engage in complete conversations with humans.
Its first sentence in public is to make people call it the "robot goddess", and the researcher said to her, "Yes, my goddess, what can I do for you?"
Although there are currently no plans for large-scale production of "Jiajia", scholars say that robot partners will soon become a reality. Dr. David Levi, who specializes in researching this topic, stated that the first government approved robot marriage will appear before 2050. In fact, such topics are gaining widespread attention, to the extent that the annual "Love with Robots" conference is held in London.
