Biomimetic Humanoid Robots with Human Consciousness

This book describes a non-fiction scenario in which humanity will survive in the universe immortally by the creation of look-alike biomimetic humanoid robots with special consciousness in which the humanoid robot knows that it is modeling a human master (owner) with ＂an identity and a life vita＂ (resume, life story, and memories). The robots will possess a form of consciousness or selfawareness (IVA-consciousness) and interact with their human masters as companions and best friends, gradually developing an understanding of their human masters’ consciousness. The humanoid robot will stay in the universe even after the human master has left. The book aims to enable humans to create and develop immortal humanoid robots that can travel in space and to other planets and galaxies using quantum entanglement phenomena and artificial intelligence. Thus, humanity and its influence and culture will remain in the universe and not terminate or vanish due to environmental changes on planet Earth in the future.

Mohsen Shahinpoor has served as a chaired professor emeritus and research director at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Maine College of Engineering and Computing, University of Maine, USA. In the university, he has also served as the Richard C. Hill chaired professor; professor of biomedical science and engineering; and director of the Advanced Robotics Laboratory, which focuses on smart materials, artificial muscles, tissue engineering, manufacturing, and advanced biomedical engineering and robotic surgery. He is also actively involved in research and development in biomimetics; soft and flexible robotics; smart biomimetic wearable robotic braces; electroactive materials; artificial muscles; and ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs). He has also been active in promoting biomimetic humanoid robots equipped with human-like consciousness and digital immortal life of the future.
