IOL : K-bot the sociable cyborg is wired to smile
by Rattle at 2:00 pm EST, Feb 18, 2003

Denver - The world's most sophisticated cyborg, which can grin with self-satisfaction or sneer in disdain, has at last been unveiled.

Packed with 24 small motors to manipulate the artificial skin of its face, the cyborg - called K-bot - has a pair of cameras in its eyes designed to analyse the facial expressions of the people it sees.

Its not a cyborg. Cyborg implies a human is one of the components. Steve Mann is a cyborg. This is a robot head.

I agree with you, but I thought it was an interesting "robot head" ;-)

No doubt there.. I saw one that a Japanese university had made for a simililar facal expression robot project, and it didn't look nearly as cool as this one.

I want my army of Azimos. They will be programmed to act and talk just like Bender. They will always be carrying an axe.
