DailyDirt: Robots Mimicking Humans
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Most useful robots look nothing like their human creators. But since humans and robots are going to need to work together, it might help to make robots more friendly-looking. So it’s not too surprising to find a bunch of robot projects developing machines that have human-like appearances and behaviors. Here are just a few interesting links on these humanoid bots.
- Robot hands and legs are pretty common, but robot armpits? Warning: this thing looks a bit NSFW… [url]
- Japanese researchers are developing a robot to help train dentists. And Dr. Szell wants to know: “Is it safe?” [url]
- Another robot project that sounds like a bad joke: robots that are programmed to love you. Lonely? Lovotics bots are waiting to talk to you in your area! [url]

By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Dr. Hikari has given us emotions
We now laugh, and get mad, and worry like humans do. Is that not the defining condition of humanity?
weddings

and the hugging robot?
Nice selection of creepy robots. I have also seen an article the other day on a robot that could hug you back when you hug it. You could put the lovotic robot on the head to get the love and the physical contact…
