SubscribeResearchers develop interactive, emotion-detecting GPS robot
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a computer system that's able to recognize and respond to the emotions and gestures of its human user, and outputs its own response via a specially-designed robot
Article Summary
While computer systems are now very capable of recognizing vocal input, they offer minimal interactive feedback. A team of Cambridge University researchers have now developed a system that can not only detect a user's emotional state, but can also make expressive responses of its own. Using a robotic likeness of the godfather of the programmable computer, Charles Babbage, the team has hooked the system up to a driving simulator and created a computerized driving companion and navigator that reacts to the driver in much the same way as a human passenger.
