Kobian robot showing happiness
Scientists all around the globe have been creating different kinds of robots which can perform simple tasks such as reaching or picking an object. Since 2000, the algorithms behind these movements have become more complex, to develop robots that can do more than simple walking and doing household chores.
Japanese researchers developed a humanoid that can present various emotions. It is claimed that it is the first in the world to show emotions with its whole body, from the face down to the limbs. It can express joy, fear, surprise, sadness, anger, and disgust, by opening and closing its eyes, moving its lips and eyebrows, and using its arms and legs. It shows happiness by opening its eyes and mouth wide and raising its arms, and sorrow by drooping its head and covering its eyes.
The robot is installed with 48 “actuators” which allow its face and body to move in a variety of ways. Do robots really fall in love? Is a question that you can ask the creator of the Japanese Kobian robot.
