Robot Gains Self Awareness In Lab

A new robot has been developed at Meiji University in Japan that can tell the difference between its own image in a mirror, and an identical robot mimicking it -- an ability known as "mirror image cognition." This "SELF AWARENESS" is the first created in a robot. The research is being headed by Junichi Takeno, the same guy who built a robot named Kansei designed to exhibit artificial consciousness.
