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 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. |
