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.

[ariahughesliebling]

just having eccentric facial hair does not make you a hipster. he simply has some weird taste in facial hair. this guy is older, accomplished and does not even dress like a hipster. please stop being stupid and ignorant.

Amazing!

If to steven spielberg or josh lucas really liked the science and technology they could give 1 milliom US$ to this guy's team and company, I am sure is a money better spent instead of just people who are capable of spending 300,000US$ in such passing vain fancies as shoes with arrays of gold and diamonds. Invest in research is always progress for society.

Shouldn't we skip emotion if we're going to give all the robots our crappy jobs?
