Robot expresses emotions

UK scientists have successfully built a robot that resembles a human. It also has the ability to mimic the emotional expression and movement of the human lips.

Thanks to a camera, the robot can record human movements, and then the brain processor "assigns" the task to tiny motors in its skin. Jules, the name of the robot, can grin, frown, frown and say.

Jules mimics the way people express emotions by transforming video into digital commands to control the motor. The motor system will move the bundles according to the corresponding command. All this happens almost instantaneously. Jules can turn video images into command at 25 frames per second.

This is a product of the project called "Human-Robot Interaction" by the Bristol Robotics Research Center (UK). Scientists involved in the project spent three and a half years completing the image-to-command conversion software and other breakthrough technologies.
