“With a big bushy moustache and a shock of white hair, scientists have modeled an ultra realistic robot on Albert Einstein. Although it is unable to ponder complex theories such as general relativity, the robot has helped scientists develop their understanding of emotional intelligence. Using specialized software the machine can recognise and respond to a number of human facial expressions in a natural way. Such reactions are a major feat of engineering, according to chief designer David Hanson, from Hanson Robotics.” w/ photos
