"That may be so."
If human-like appearance is not required, then a golem will suffice.
With the same performance, it is no wonder that the golem, which costs less by comparison, is in greater demand.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tobias stares at Reiko as Jin returns to the conversation,

"I can tell from Miss Reiko's honorary rank as an attendant that you have an extraordinary love for automata, Jin-dono. I would like to ask you to teach us the tricks of automata making, even if it is only one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, of your love for automata.
He bowed.
"Jin-dono, I would like to ask you to do the same. Of course, I'm thinking about the reward. Please, will you help me with this?"

Tobias' words and manner showed his enthusiasm, so Jin agreed to this offer with a condition.
"Well, I can't stay here for a long period of time, so if you could just give me some tips..."
"Of course! I know you are busy with many things, Jin-dono. Even if it's just for one day, that's fine.

Jin could not refuse the offer if he was told that much.
"Yes, I understand. "Yes, all right.
"Oh, thank you!"

Hearing that Jin was going to give a lecture, people from other laboratories came to attend his lecture, and in the end, 51 people attended his lecture.
Since it was the first time for Jin to give a lecture to that many people and the time was limited, he wondered what to say and how to say it, and decided to give it as an in-house presentation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jin Nido.
Jin Nido took the podium and opened his mouth a little nervously.

Most of the audience knew Jin Nido's face, and no one showed any signs of underestimating him because he was young.
"Today I would like to talk about tips for making automata.
There was a low voice and a gasp.

"First of all, let me tell you something. The goal of my automata is not to make them <
The audience nods in agreement as they see Reiko standing next to Jin as his assistant.
"Now, let me explain a few tips on how to achieve this.

At these words, everyone leaned forward.
"First and foremost, appearance. This needs no explanation. But I have a word of advice. Perfect symmetry is too perfect, and it detracts from our humanity. The human face is not as symmetrical as you might think.
Too much symmetry feels unnatural, Jin explained.

"Next is movement. There is ambiguity in human movement. Golem...... advanced golem does not have it. If there is, it is slight. It is also far from human-like.
About a third of the group tilted their heads at this explanation.

"This may be difficult to understand, so let me show you an example. Reiko, please.
"Yes, father."
Reiko stepped forward to the podium.

"First of all, you need to walk like a human being.
Jin said, and Reiko walked from right to left on the stage. It is the walk of a human being.
"Next, I will show you how to walk like a golem.

This time, Reiko walked from left to right on the stage. It was a beautiful movement, but it seemed mechanical and cold.
"What do you think? In a word, as I said before, there is a <
I cut him off and looked at the reaction of the audience, all of whom seemed to be itching to hear what he had to say. Jin's words seem to have been understood.

Jin felt a response as many nodded their heads in agreement with this explanation.

There was an inaudible sigh from the audience.
"This kind of ambiguity is essential for creating a sense of
Jin looked around the audience,

"Are there any questions so far?
Jin asked. He was really picking up the pace.
"One question, if I may."

A young female technician raised her hand.
"Yes, please."
"Yes. "Yes. ......, um, I was wondering if you could tell me how to create that

Jin thought for a moment about how to answer.
"Well, yes. There are many ways to do it, and it would be a technician's pleasure to create his own
When Jin answered, the female engineer blushed a little and looked down.

"Yes, ......, you are right.
However, we will be discussing these issues later in the lecture."

These words were heard not only by the female engineer but also by most of the audience.
"If you want to look like a human being, you have to know a human being.

Jin began to explain, remembering his predecessors and his father, Shuki Tsezi and his wife, Adriana Tiara.
"The purpose of this project is to know the structure of the human body and to create an automata with a structure similar to that of the human body. To be more specific, the number of joints, the range of motion, and so on.
He explains that the doll should not have joints that humans do not have, or that the joints should not be bent in a way that humans cannot.

Everyone listens attentively.
"You might want to ask a healer about the structure of the human body. When making something better, combining techniques from different fields can sometimes produce something unexpected.
At this point Jin decided to begin an explanation that would give a hint to the previous question.

"Now, let's think about
All but a few seem to have that level of experience, and most remain staring at Jin.
"Let me explain the most basic part of the Magick Formula. It is a formula for swinging the legs out, and the angle of swing should be a variable.

Those who have made it before nodded their heads.
"This variable determines the stride length, but what if the value of the variable is not constant?
Everyone thought in their hearts that

"Even if it is not constant, if it fluctuates between 29 and 31 compared to 30, we should be able to correct it in the next step.
At this point, the sensible person knew exactly what to expect.
"Yes, to include these small variations. That is the first step toward

Back when personal computers were still called microcomputers and ran on the BASIC language. There was a function called random function.
It was a function that generated pseudo-random numbers, and by using time as an input, it was made to be closer to real random numbers.

"This is just an example. I think the way to be original is to try it out in your own way."

Jin then continued his explanation, and by the end of his talk, he said
"Automata is not a hobby. In human society, they are not meant to replace human beings, but to create a life together with human beings. I believe that this is what automata are. Thank you very much for your attention.
He then bowed.

The audience gave a thunderous applause.
"Thank you, Jin-dono."
