Machines adopting human emotions

Machines adopting human emotions

Feelix Growing is a research project involving 6 countries, and 25 roboticists, developmental psychologists and neuroscientists

Co-ordinator Dr Lola Canamero said the aim was to build robots that "learn from humans and respond in a socially and emotionally appropriate manner"

"The human emotional world is very complex but we respond to simple cues, things we don't notice or we don't pay attention to, such as how someone moves," said Dr Canamero, who is based at the University of Hertfordshire
