Pros and Cons of AI Humanoid Robots in Human Life

Prim-Lex Theory and Humanoid Robot Governance: From Labor Substitution to Human-Robot Civilization

Shen Xiaowang

In 2026, humanoid robots are transitioning from laboratories to factories and households. Tesla Optimus announced the official start of mass production by the end of 2026, with a long-term annual production capacity target of 1 million units at the Fremont factory; Figure AI plan…Read more

The Convergence Index: The Mixing Zone of Human Mechanization and AI Humanization

K. Yamada

Bioethics has debated human enhancement (prosthetics, brain-computer interfaces, cognitive offloading), charting the progressive mechanization of body and mind, while AI ethics has examined AI humanization: robotic embodiment, emotional simulation, legal personhood. These two tra…Read more

The Robotics Guardian Standard: A Non-Binding Conformance Framework and Public Pledge for Safety, Privacy, and Human Dignity in Home Robots and Ambient AI

G.A. Roberts

A new class of machine now enters the home: an embodied, always-present intelligence with cameras, microphones, memory, and increasingly a body, welcomed past every threshold a household once guarded. Existing safety frameworks do not reach it: they govern the personal-care robot…Read more

Where Does Value Take Shape? An AI–Human Serious Game Design Experiment on the Poème Électronique

Vittorio Murtas, Vincenzo Lombardo

This article presents a design experiment investigating whether and how cultural heritage values may emerge in the development of a serious game created through generative AI. Centered on Edgar à GoGo—a game based on Edgar Varèse’s Poème Électronique—the study explores whether me…Read more

The Man Who Was Never Alive

Northon Salomao de Oliveira

What if the greatest legal case in history wasn't about a human being... but about proving that someone who never lived is alive? Inheritance attorney Emily Carter expects nothing more than a routine visit to witness the will of an elderly billionaire. Instead, she meets Elias Vo…Read more

Engram Formation System: Computational Implementation of bioinspired memory for Robotics and AI Research

Daniele Grosso

We present a neurobiomorphic system implementing biological engram formation through computational pattern stabilization detection. The system combines semantic relationship tensors, living cellular automata with predictive processing, and temporal binding mechanisms to test the…Read more
