View story 1 0 The Future of Robotics http://www.futureforall.org/robotics/robotics.htm Submitted by transfuture 13 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 15 hours ago Life Like Robots Robotic engineers are designing the next generation of robots to look, feel and act more human, to make it easier for us to warm up to a cold machine. Realistic looking hair and skin with embedded sensors will allow robots to react naturally in their environment. For example, a robot that senses your touch on the shoulder and turns to greet you. Subtle actions by robots that typically go unnoticed between people, help bring them to life and can also relay non verbal communication. Artificial eyes that move and blink. Slight chest movements that simulate breathing. Man made muscles to change facial expressions. These are all must have attributes for the socially acceptable robots of the future. The brain behind the beauty will be the key to turning a realistic looking machine into a life like robot. Artificial intelligence plays a pivotal role in successful human/robot interaction.
