Einstein robot knows sympathy

Everybody knows Albert Einstein has entered eternity more than 50 years ago. However, recently he was 'fully immersed' in the form of a sympathetic robot that appeared at the Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference (TED) in California, USA.

"This is a robot that can understand and emulate human emotions," robot maker David Hanson introduced Einstein bust robot with 1,500 delegates attending TED as a business, scientist and design expert. gender. With his legendary German physics face, the robot can communicate with the eye, smile, frown with the opposite. Hanson and his co-workers in robotics, Einstein, argue that one day computers will have the capacity to engage with people - listening and responding with unprecedented levels.

Hanson designed Einstein with the ability to mimic all 48 muscles on the human face. It uses 32 motors, in many cases more flexible than the facial muscles it imitates. The robot's true-looking eyes are two CCTV cameras. The robot's software tracks 13 movements from a blink of an eye, frowning to wrinkling. Currently, the Einstein robot is still in its infancy. One of Hanson's goals is to give the robot the ability to recognize sincerity when the other person is smiling.
