Stepping into the future of robotics and AI at Milan Design Week

Press release available only in original language. 

Sony demonstrates its vision in a new exhibition exploring how robots will enrich society and people's lives.

  • ‘Affinity in Autonomy’ envisions a world in which intelligence and technology is integrated more into our day to day lives; it looks further at the relationship between humans and robots
  • The exhibition explores the emotion, companionship and behaviour of #robotics; how humans interact, co-exist both now and in the future and looks at the impact on our senses through technology
  • Since the creation of the world first Entertainment Robot, ‘AIBO’ in 1999, #sony has continued to grow its knowledge and understanding of AI and Robotics

The exhibition will run from the 9th to the 14th April, and explores Sony’s vision for life-enriching #robotics.

It looks at the future relationship humans can develop with robots capable of emotion; setting out to show that when humans feel that our robotic friends are alive, we will begin to feel an affinity toward them.

Attendees at the exhibition walk through different sensory ‘zones’ examining five key interactions between humans and #robotics:

  • 1. Awakening: The first zone heightens sensory awareness whereby visitors experience a new type of intelligence shown on the wall embodied within light and sound. Visitors will be guided on a path to the future looking ahead to how we will interact with robots in unexpected and unimaginable ways.
