Title:
「人間らしさ」とはなにか/What are "Humanlike" actions?
About Talks:
平田氏は、ジェミノイドを用いたロボット演劇を通し、演劇の側面からロボットの人間らしさを追求する。平田氏によると、「人間らしさに必要なものは「無駄な動き」であり、原理的に人間にしかできないものは、ごく限られたマイナス要素的なものだ」と言う。2500年間積み上げた演劇の叡智が、工学的研究では解析しきれない"人間らしさ"を、ロボットを通じて演出する様は必見。
"Through his robot theater starring geminoids as actors, Mr. Hirata pursues the ""humanness"" of robots from a theatrical perspective.
According to Mr. Hirata, ""superfluity"" is the formula for humanlike actions, and fundamentally, only a few negative actions are exclusive to humans.
He shows us how theater, with its 2500 years of history, can easily and dramatically add a human touch to robot actors--something that could not be achieved by mechanic analysis.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.
TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
