David Hanson: Robots that “show emotion”

http://www.ted.com David Hanson’s robot faces look and act like yours: They recognize and respond to emotion, and make expressions of their own. Here, an “emotional” live demo of the Einstein robot offers a peek at a future where robots truly mimic humans.

    well the reason for creating humanoid robots is so that they can one day be very alike us. Emotions play a great part in the human species. A lot of the decisions we make are based on emotions

    Because we’re humans and we’re egotistic about it, We’re so egotistic that we believe a human looking magic man with a big fluffy beard created the universe just for us and we can bend the rules of probability and physics if we pray hard enough to said human magic man with the fluffy beard. It’s no wonder we think we can do what ever the we want to the earth and build robots with faces

    The reason for making them laugh is to make them as human as possible. As he said it’s the seeds of empathy.Empathy in ai will be needed because eventually we will have robots that are , for want of a better term, alive…. and much smarter than us.

    The problem is that …
    The problem is that everyone is a “citizen of their own country,” and everyone wants to do what they want, when they want, for as long as they want, with no regard for the social or environmental impacts. I have no sympathy for you whatsoever. If you can’t afford the toll, stop driving!

    IBM is evil. We are citizens of our own country and have the right to move ourselves and our possessions across our land without slaving for hours to give our bank account contents away to the government and IBM.

    Cherry-picked opinions from a minority and the monetary beneficiaries of this evil will only convince the absolute foolish. Why must bureaucrats and IBM receive a “prize” everytime somebody travels over their land.

    It reduces movement, independance, dignity and private ownership.
