Prototype of robot that develops emotions on interacting with humans


Prototype of robot that develops emotions on interacting with humans officially complete
The first example of a robot that can develop emotions as it interacts with a human caregiver has been completed. A team across Europe was led by Dr. Lola Cañamero of the institution of higher education of Herefordshire in the UK to develop the bot, which differs in several significant ways from those that came before it. These robots extend over time in much the way that a child does, learning to interact with and react to the human beings around them. Modeled after human and chimpanzee early days development paths, they are programmed to be highly adaptable to the people around them, and to become attached to whatever person is most suited to its needs and 'personality' profile. Over time, the more they interact, the more they learn and bond to the human being. These small ones, moreover, are capable of expressing a wide range of emotions, including anger, frustration, fear and happiness. The next steps are to research the bots' emotional and non-linguistic behavior, and to move toward combining linguistic and non-linguistic communication to become further attached and adapted to them. Yes, we want one.
