An emotional robot developed in the UK can perceive the grief of its host.

Imagine, when you are sad, a robot will comfort you and help you solve problems and make you happy. What kind of situation will this be like? Maybe you think this is impossible. but a British team of scientists is creating an emotional robot that responds to human expressions and expresses their emotions when they are in contact with humans. dr. Laura canamelaro from the computer Emy of Sciences at the University of hoteford, UK, who is engaged in robot development, said they developed the robot to make it grow and adapt to the daily environment of humans.

"If robots and humans work together or serve as human maintainers, they can truly be integrated into our daily lives. However, they cannot be supplied in stock and must be assembled on site to adapt to their living environment. "Moreover, this robot is not a preset knowledge and must grow and progress along with its human masters. for example, if the host suddenly cries, the robot will gradually learn how to better comfort the host or leave the host alone for a while.
The first such robot has been created, with built-in behavior patterns. When it was born, it found itself in birds and some mammals. it seems that this robot is about to work with animals. similarly, such robots can also follow humans and adapt to harmony with humans.
This kind of robot prototype will be presented at the 2008ict conference next week. prototype includes pet baby robots, which can learn to control their own tones and explore new environments with the help of humans. there are also several robot heads that can display facial expressions based on changes in the face. other humanoid robots can complete simple tasks by observing and imitating humans.

This is similar to the research topics in our lab, but people have already done it!
