ABSTRACT
The long history of science and remarkable progress in artificial intelligence and robotics may well predict that the day will come in the near future when artifacts will catch up with or overcome people in every aspect. However, it is considered that the prediction should be only the case for the fields where their capabilities can be acquired simply from numerous pairs of input and output. The methodology is applied to three robots named ‘Poci’, ‘Robby’, and ‘Anna’, respectively, where the first one is a real dog-shaped robot and the rest are imaginary humanoid robots. Artificial general intelligence remains in an imaginary robot in the world of science fiction, like Data, the humanoid robot in the Star Trek television series. Robots are always to interpret people’s utterances both in human-specific and robot-specific semantics. Otherwise, both the entities would confront a serious cognitive divide that would hinder their mutual comprehension.
