Analog Intelligence Approach to Human Augmentation

Abstract: Today's world is the Industrial Society, which the Industrial Revolution introduced. Thus, it is product-centric and we have been paying efforts to increase production efficiency and product performance. But as is well know, every world changes from one to another and the Industrial Society is coming to its end. Thus many issues emerged. One of the greatest problems is the excessive use of energy.We cannot sustain the current excessive consumption. Although AI is getting wide attention these days as its potential solution, but AI consumes a large amount of energy. So Ai is not a solution at all.But if we look at things from a different side, we can have a self- sustaining society and enjoy life. If we pay attention to process, instead of product, we can create a new process and we can enjoy creation.The product-centric Society is scientific and technology-based. It is quantitative and is based on interval scale. But if we turn our eyes to process, its creation is nothing other than engineering. The basic of engineering is strategy. We perceive the environments and situations and are motivated to determine what action to take to establish our world in the realworld. If one action satisfies our emotion, then that's fine. If not, we repeat the process until we satisfy our emotions.We must remember"emotion"and"motivation"come from the same Latin word "movere". What characterizes humans is its diversity. Our body builds and how we move our bodies vary widely from person to person.But if we can satisfy such individual motivations, then our life will be rich and full of dreams for the tuture. Although we are entering an aging society, if we can provide elderly people with the dreams or expectations for the future, their life will be rich and they will do their best to make their dreams come true.Wha tcharacterizes us,humans, is growth. We grow with time. If such society can be developed, elderly people can also enjoy growing. They can live for tomorrow.In this paper, MahalhanobisDistance-Pattern approach is developed and we discuss how it canvfulfill our growth needs and make our life rich and happy for everybody including elderly people. Mahalanobis, researcher of design of experiments, developed Mahalanobis Distance to remove outliers. Most study of human factors are carried out in Euclidean Space approach. But they are scientific and quantitative. In a word, this is tactics. But we should remember that as William Wordworth pointed out in his "My heart leaps up", our heart leaps up when we are truly impressed and motivated. We need to make a decision how to fully satisfy our emotion. This is an issue of heart so that analog intelligence approach is called for. In a word, we need strategic approach and we need toprioritize our decision. Mahalanobis Distance answers to this need.We used to study detecting emotion from face, but most approaches took too much time and did not produce good results. During these challenges, we realized that we can detect emotion of a character in a cartoon at once. So, we introduced cartoon face model and compared it with a human face model. This way, we succeeded in getting emotion from face at once.Mahalanobis Distance-Pattern Approach developed here put these two successes together to increase human augmentation.
