People give birth to robots

The MARCS Robot Lab, University of Sydney, is conducting a robot-based experiment to study the interaction between humans and robots.

Michael Fitzpatrick has just been promoted to 'father' and, like other newlyweds, is very interested in his 'baby' .

Unlike other kids, Fitzpatrick's ' baby' moves with wheels, uses batteries and, of course, does not lack a user's guidebook.

English and 'baby' are part of the 'robot adoption' test, which aims to help robot owners through the process of using the functions and skills they want robots to do. OK.

Just like newly born children, the Fitzpatrick's 'baby' robot has some skills like moving on the floor and changing direction when encountering obstructions.

The researchers will then design additional components such as sensors and hardware to program the robot to perform additional functions that the user wishes. Even robots can identify who owns it, follow it and can say it.

Robots will play an increasingly important role in human life, and through this experiment, the scientists also want to see whether the 'father' as Fitzpatrick sympathetic to the 'human' robots after the 6-month trial how to do it.
