Humanoid robot chats intelligently with interviewer

Published on Apr 26, 2013

Gay Singaporeans are often criticised for not producing children and contributing to expected decline in population if foreign talent is not imported. All futurologists point to the eventual attainment and surpassing of human intelligence by robots. They will eventually augment our population.
In this video, a humanoid robot is able to comprehend and answer an interviewer with great wit even before we have reached the stage of being able to imbue a robot with human-level intelligence.

“Who’s Johnny?” Anthropomorphic framing in human-robot
interaction, integration, and policy

Author: Kate Darling
Discussant: Ken Goldberg

As we increasingly create spaces where robotic technology interacts with humans, our tendency to project lifelike qualities onto robots raises questions around use and policy. Based on a human-robot-interaction experiment conducted in our lab, this paper explores the effects of anthropomorphic framing in the introduction of robotic technology. It discusses concerns about anthropomorphism in certain contexts, but argues that there are also cases where encouraging anthropomorphism is desirable. Because people respond to framing, framing could serve as a tool to separate these cases.

Development of Motion Rendering using Laban Movement Analysis to Humanoid Robots Inspired by Real-Time Emotional Locus of Music Signals
The goal of this study is to explore the possibility of humanoid robots developing motion models inspired by the mechanisms of music emotions locus. In this way, the robot can become new modeling tools to expand the domain of motion rendering for emotions expression by anchoring it to a physical body. Consequently, complete robot control loops can be instantiated and not only algorithms but whole emotional behaviors validated.
