Spain created a “sentimental” robot with 14 emotions
In Madrid, the presentation of the robot Aisoy1, which created two Spanish robotics. The new robot has already become not the first child of the scientific duo. Prior to that, back in 2010 engineer Diego Garcia and Professor David Rios created a social robot.
The main task of the robot is the social interaction with others. In theory, the robot must be able to conduct coordinated conversation with someone and express their own emotions. Although still far from ideal, the robot Aisoy1 indication that science is moving in the right direction.
Exclusivity sample Aisoy1 that the robot can already lead unpretentious conversation with a person at the level of “dating.” At the same time the robot can express emotions 14.
Selected emotion as based on the “health” of the electronic companion, and the human assay before it. For example, noticing that something confused man, the robot can just as well be embarrassed and even apologize. Today Aisoy1 robot may be interested in human well-being and understand about a third possible answer. After receiving a response, the robot also has a chance to have anything pleasant, supportive or comforting.
Spanish Robotics announced that it will continue to work on the project and further developing its own model of social robot. Aisoy1 today is one of the few representatives of robots standing in a queue to “receive the soul.”
Sold Aisoy1 begin this summer in all the shops in Spain for 200 euros. Robotics also promised to try to do even better future robots and more affordable for the money. The project was created by Aisoy Robotics consisting of eight businessmen and two scientists who, in fact, engaged in the development line Aisoy.
