Official MDS Robot Video – First Test of Expressive Ability

This video shows an initial test of the MDS (Mobile Dexterous Social) Robot designed
and built in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab’s Personal Robots Group, UMASS Amherst’s Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics, Xitome Design, and Meka Robotics. It illustrates the robot’s expressive range of movement using scripted animations and pre-recorded speech.

    I think this one is really great, compared to some robots that try to copy the human face exactly, but in the end can’t get the mimics right and then appear even more doll-like.

    Like I said, although this robot looks more like from an animation film, it really seems that it can express feelings and could have a personality. Great. I wish I had one to play with it 🙂

    I personally don’t believe it to be clear that you weren’t being serious, if you weren’t that’s fair enough. But to claim you’re smarter than anybody, just because you say so show’s your ignorance. You may be smarter than me, but i clearly have the higher ground her because i’m not being so pompous about it.
