Robots gain self-awareness

qbo robot mirrorOne of the main axes of science fiction novels was robots which have not only intelligence but also self-awareness. That is, understanding their existence in space (self awareness)…

But it seems that these stories will cease to be in the imagination of writers and screenwriters. Instead they will be part of our daily lives. At least one robot, the Qbo, managed to identify itself in the mirror. To understand in other words that the image he sees is not an external object but the same.

This is not a trivial matter. After all, most animals do not have this ability. Apart from humans, only the Asian elephant, the dolphin, and some primates have shown that they can perceive that what they see in a mirror is themselves.
