Japanese robot displays expressions

by Administrator on June 6, 2007

Robots may not be able to feel emotions but Japanese scientists have created one which they say expresses them. The newest Japanese humanoid robot, named “Kansei”, frowns when he hears the word “bomb” and a smile lights up his face when he hears the word “sushi”. The robot created by a Japanese university research team can make up 36 different facial expressions stemming from English words such as happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear and surprise - and any combination of these emotions.
