Hi, I don't think people had access to AI tech at that time lol. However, I think Yoriichi type 0 was based off of the Karakuri puppets. Since the Sengoku period (1600s/17th century), there were mechanical wooden puppets known as "Karakuri ningyo". These puppets were commonly made of wood and were controlled by being wound up. The Kakakuri puppets were able to do tasks such as bring tea, shoot arrows, write calligraphy, and even dance or play music. They're often used in Kabuki theater and during festivals. As KNY takes place during the Taisho Period (early 1900s), and Europe and other countries were able to bring their ideas to Japan, maybe technology in that universe has advanced to a point where the Karakuri puppets are able to be used for more than entertainment.
