anthropic principle

The anthropic principle is the philosophical argument apparently first stated by Brandon Carter, and popularized by Nick Bostrom.

There are a variety of forms -- the weak anthropic principle, the strong anthropic principle, the final anthropic principle, etc.

It may have implications for fundamental physics and cosmology.

anthropic robot

Many people have developed anthropic robots, also called androids.

While artificial devices in more or less the shape of humans have stirred the imagination for centuries, perhaps the first bipedal walking robot was the 1995 Wabian from Waseda University.
