ScienceDaily (Aug. 9, 2010) — The first prototype robots capable of developing emotions as they interact with their human caregivers and expressing a whole range of emotions have been finalised by researchers.

Led by Dr. Lola Cañamero at the University of Hertfordshire, and in collaboration with a consortium of universities and robotic companies across Europe, these robots differ from others in the way that they form attachments, interact and express emotion through bodily expression.

Developed as part of the interdisciplinary project FEELIX GROWING (Feel, Interact, eXpress: a Global approach to development with Interdisciplinary Grounding), funded by the European Commission and coordinated by Dr. Cañamero, the robots have been developed so that they learn to interact with and respond to humans in a similar way as children learn to do it, and use the same types of expressive and behavioural cues that babies use to learn to interact socially and emotionally with others.

The robots have been created through modelling the early attachment process that human and chimpanzee infants undergo with their caregivers when they develop a preference for a primary caregiver.

They are programmed to learn to adapt to the actions and mood of their human caregivers, and to become particularly attached to an individual who interacts with the robot in a way that is particularly suited to its personality profile and learning needs. The more they interact, and are given the appropriate feedback and level of engagement from the human caregiver, the stronger the bond developed and the amount learned.

The robots are capable of expressing anger, fear, sadness, happiness, excitement and pride and will demonstrate very visible distress if the caregiver fails to provide them comfort when confronted by a stressful situation that they cannot cope with or to interact with them when they need it.

"This behaviour is modelled on what a young child does," said Dr Cañamero. "This is also very similar to the way chimpanzees and other non-human primates develop affective bonds with their caregivers."

This is the first time that early attachment models of human and non-human primates have been used to program robots that develop emotions in interaction with humans.

"We are working on non-verbal cues and the emotions are revealed through physical postures, gestures and movements of the body rather than facial or verbal expression," Dr Cañamero added.

The researchers led by Dr. Cañamero at the University of Hertfordshire are now extending the prototype further and adapting it as part of the EU project ALIZ-E, which will develop robots that learn to be carer/companion for diabetic children in hospital settings.

Within this project, coordinated by Dr Tony Belpaeme of the University of Plymouth, the Hertfordshire group will lead research related to the emotions and non-linguistic behaviour of the robots. The future robot companions will combine non-linguistic and linguistic communication to interact with the children and become increasingly adapted to their individual profiles in order to support both, therapeutic aspects of their treatment and their social and emotional wellbeing.

The FEELIX GROWING project has been funded by the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission. The other partners in the project are: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (France), Université de Cergy Pontoise (France), Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland), University of Portsmouth (U.K.), Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (Greece), Entertainment Robotics (Denmark), and Aldebaran Robotics (France).

so robot ni learn the emotion through nurture la
melalui pergaulan ngan manusia

belum lagi boleh develop 'emotion' through DNA

Baru-baru hari tu kat robot show jepun,ada robot yang boleh express feeling dorang berdasarkan sentuhan dan nada percakapan...katanya robot tu detect dari gelombang..tinggi rendah..

belum lagi boleh develop 'emotion' through DNA

ni tahap mcm manga zettai kareshi tu

takutnye biler robot da ader artificial intelligent yang advance. nanti die proses camni :

manusia = pelaku pencemaran
pencemaran = to be terminated
so,
manusia = to be terminated!

Nao: the robot that expresses and detects emotions                                
The world’s first robot to be able to display and detect emotions has been   unveiled by European scientists.
               
         
The humanoid machine, called Nao, hunches its shoulders when it feels sad and   raises its arms for a hug when it feels happy.
                        
It has been designed to mimic the emotional skills of a one-year-old child and   is capable of forming bonds with people who treat it with kindness.
        
Nao is able to detect human emotions through a series of non-verbal “clues”,   such as body-language and facial expressions, and becomes more adept at   reading a person’s mood through prolonged interaction.
It uses video cameras to detect how close a person comes and sensors to work   out how tactile they are.


The wiring of the robot's “brain”, designed to mirror the neural network of   the human mind, allows it to remember its interactions with different people   and memorise their faces.


This understanding, along with a set of basic rules about what is “good” and   “bad” for it, allow the robot to indicate whether it is “sad” or “happy”.
The actions used to display each emotion are preprogrammed but Nao decides by   itself which feeling to display, and when.
"We're modelling the first years of life," said Lola Cañamero, a   computer scientist at the University of Hertfordshire who led the project to   create Nao's emotions.


"We are working on non-verbal cues and the emotions are revealed through   physical postures, gestures and movements of the body rather than facial or   verbal expression."


Cañamero believes that robots will act as human companions in future.


"Those responses make a huge difference for people to be able to   interact naturally with a robot," she said.
“If people can behave naturally around their robot companions, robots will be   better-accepted as they become more common in our lives."


Nao was developed as part of a project called Feelix   Growing, funded by the European commission.
Though some scientists believe that robots could be used to help around the   house, or to care for the elderly, in the future, others have warned that   the humanoids could spin out of control and attack   their owners by accident.

Humanoid robot Nao gets emotion chip

Nao: Do emotional robots make better companions?

If you think robots are heartless piles of plastic and silicon, you're correct. But soccer-playing humanoid robot Nao has been evolving by developing "emotions" under a European project and is now being used in the U.S. in sessions to treat autistic children.


Under the recently concluded Feelix Growing project--aimed at designing bots that can detect and respond to human emotional cues--researchers at the University of Hertfordshire's Adaptive Systems Group and other centers have been trying to get Nao to simulate human emotions.


Researcher Lola Canamero and colleagues have been programming Nao--created by Aldebaran Robotics and used worldwide as a research bot--based on how human and chimpanzee infants interact with others. Working with a budget of some $3.2 million, the researchers have been trying to create robots that can be better companions for people.
In a gushing report, the Daily Mail has hailed Nao as "the first robot capable of developing emotions and forming bonds with humans."

Robot fans who remember Sony's robot dog Aibo, discontinued in 2006, will recall that it had a range of synthetic emotions and could "grow" emotionally according to how it interacted with its owner.


It's no surprise that the researchers have also been experimenting with Aibo, including the cyberpup and Nao in a "robot nursery" designed to incubate emotional behaviors. Nao can so far express excitement, anger, fear, sadness, happiness, and pride, and supposedly has the "emotional skills" of a 1-year-old child.


Using its facial-recognition skills, Nao can become attached to people who help it learn, just like a human infant. When confronted with an unfamiliar situation, or when neglected by its human caregiver, Nao can become agitated. It will remember past experiences it interprets as positive or negative.


The Feelix Growing project concluded in May, involving eight universities and robotics firms including Aldebaran. Some researchers working with Nao see the robot as acting as a companion for elderly people, while others believe it can help kids with learning disabilities.


Researchers at the University of Connecticut's Center for Health, Intervention, and Prevention (CHIP) have begun using Nao with autistic children, and early results are intriguing.


"Children with autism spectrum disorder typically feel more comfortable with robots than with other people initially, because robot interactions are simpler and more predictable and the children are in control of the social interaction," CHIP researcher Anjana Bhat was quoted as saying in a release.


Nao's nascent emotional intelligence bodes well for its career on the soccer pitch--after all, it's the official platform for the standard league in RoboCup, the biggest robotics competition around.


If nothing else, Nao's new emotions might help it become the best faker on the pitch.

adakah akn berlaku jugak nnt?

teringat filem I, Robot...
robot yg dihasilkn semuanya jd org suruhan..
tp ada yg bertindak di luar kawalan
who know?

itulah daus, sbb logik kontrol ni kadang2 skip command gak.. semua ade kekurangan . tapi before that happen , baik sediakan 2-3 kill switch untuk trigger safety mechanism.. tapi kalau robot tu pandai, abis die override killswitch skali....~~~

Pesakit autism ni payah nak cure.

Boleh dirawat tapi chances untuk jadi 'normal' around 70%....tak boleh 100%.

Bagus jugak robot NAO ni dicipta because NAO ni boleh detect feelings, emotions, touches...and consider 'patient' dengan budak2....especially golongan autism ni.

Mungkin, NAO ni akan jadi digunakan secara meluas di hospital paeditric...

pinklollipop

I wonder.....lepas ni robot ni boleh dijadikan sebagai tempat share masalah x?

Or jadi BOYFRIEND....macam cite ZETTAI KERASHI tu...
