Einstein Robot - UCSD Machine Perception Laboratory

Scientists at UC San Diego's California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) have equipped a robot modeled after the famed theoretical physicist with specialized software that allows it to interact with humans in a relatively natural, conversational way. The so-called "Einstein Robot," which was designed by Hanson Robotics of Dallas, Texas, recognizes a number of human facial expressions and can respond accordingly, making it an unparalleled tool for understanding how both robots and humans perceive emotion, as well as a potential platform for teaching, entertainment, fine arts and even cognitive therapy.

Oh my god, I'm sixteen and I feel like I'm stumbling upon adult stuff. O.o First I look up creepy animatronics, then poof! I'm here.

Talk, talk, talk, but no demonstration … which implies that the gadget isn't nearly as impressive as it's made out to be.

[SenorCajones]

And if they were using a Mac, it would mean that they themselves are a bunch of retards. No offense.

[SenorCajones]

Yeah, it's herky-jerky.

[SenorCajones]
