Ishiguro’s Robots

Hiroshi Ishiguro is one of the top 100 geniuses alive in the world today – and the creator of some of the most life-like robots ever made.

Ishiguro’s shockingly human androids (including his own doppelganger) have taught lectures, acted in plays and been programmed with a ‘bedside manner’ to act as nurses. As reflected in our popular culture, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Blade Runner, we’re fascinated, repulsed and excited – all at once – by the idea of robots taking our place.

Ishiguro is eerily close to making our technological fears and fantasies come true.

Come meet his creations … and get a glimpse into our science-fiction future.
