human hormones - 2008/08/06 08:57 This is an enquiry e-mail received at conscious-robots.com:

Hello,
I was wondering if human hormones and the chemicals that cause emotion in
humans have ever been used with robots or even if that is possible?
thanks,

Re:human hormones - 2008/08/06 09:11 Hi, the short answer is No. As far as I know, there is no artificial robot based in the same substrate as biological nervous systems, therefore biological hormones and neurotransmiters as such cannot play any role in a silicon-based device. However, partial functional (software and some hardware) simulations of neural networks, hormone systems, and inmune systems exist.

You have to realize that these kinds of simulations or bio-inspired artificial implementations are based on greatly simplified models of the real biological systems. Take for instance the case of Artificial Neural Networks: while a biological neural network is composed by millions of neurons, each one having tens of thousands of connections to other neurons, an artificial neural network has much less size and complexity, not to mention the simplification done in the mechanisms of synapses...

To be honest, I don´t know in detail any implementation or simulation of human hormones in artificial systems.. But I would say that the state of the art in that field is at least less advanced than artificial neural networks.
