ROBOT WITH EMOTIONS

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire have designed a robot that not only show human emotions but also develop them on its own. Nao imitates the social and emotional skills of a one-year old child; the humanoid machine looks down when its feel sad and raises its arms angling for a hug to express happiness.

Nao needs to know a person,study his body language and       

facial expression to detect his emotions.the more interaction

with someone,themore adept the robo at reading per son's 

mood.Nao makes use of video cameras to detect how a 

close a person comes and sensor to determine how people

are interacting with him and act accordingly.

The robot is part of felix growing--a EUROPEAN

project that  aims at creating comapnions who can

live with people and support them in daily activities.
