Robot is a performer

The scientific community is creating robots that are actors or artists to meet the needs of human entertainment, in addition to home help or provide necessary information.

Artist robots have a slightly resemblance to a rebellious robot in Will Smith's famous "I, Robot" movie, but it is actually not capable of resisting humans like a movie. This robot is called RoboThespian by scientists, it is designed to be an artist rather than a combat soldier.

There are about 35 robots used around the world for purposes such as performing in theater plays, guiding, providing information to visitors at museums and exhibitions. They are equipped with cameras, sensors, face detection to be able to interact and interact with the best people.

With the cost of each robot up to $ 83,407, engineers had to work hard for a week at the factory in Penryn, Cornwall, England. These robots have appeared in many plays in Korea. In the future, it will be used for educational programs all over the world and proceed to produce the robot show itself.

According to Nic Carey, a robot researcher, humans can use robots as a communication device to educate, but robots are currently primarily involved in the role of instructors at exhibitions. He hoped that someday the robot would take on the task properly.

RoboThespian can recognize gestures from human arms and copy them into activity. In the coming time, researchers will try to perfect the product by using the muscular muscles from Germany to help the robot work more closely.

Researchers say about 12 art robots are produced, but it takes six years of manufacturing research. According to engineers, in order for a robot to function properly it is necessary to charge the battery regularly or connect a robot to a generator.
