How Transplanted Pig Lungs Could Save Human Patients

I pretty much hoped to show people that it was possible to build a very lifelike robot that would turn people on instead of turn people off. Before we built it, there was a prevailing view that people were scared of lifelike robots. I didn't believe it.

I just set about doing the experiment of building the Bina48 robot, commissioning it to look exactly like my partner, Bina, and introducing her to, by now, literally thousands of people throughout the U.S. and Europe. She's spoken at major conferences, at South by Southwest, been on the German equivalent of 60 Minutes, interviewed by countless reporters. Nobody is freaked out by her.

In fact, people are almost always highly engaged by her. Now there are more and more people talking about building lifelike robots, and that was my charitable mission. I like donating by actually doing, making a project, doing something instead of just giving money to somebody.
