Emotional Humanoid Robot
05/26/09 - Only In Japan
“Researchers from Waseda University have teamed up with Kyushu-based robot manufacturer TMSUK to develop a humanoid robot that uses its entire body to express a variety of emotions… KOBIAN can express seven different feelings, including delight, surprise, sadness and dislike. In addition to assuming different poses to match the mood, the emotional humanoid uses motors in its face to move its lips, eyelids and eyebrows into various positions. To express delight, for example, the robot lifts its soft rubbery hands over its head and opens its eyes and mouth wide.” w/ photos + video
