Friendly Manners
There's been a fair bit of recent coverage on a project in Northern Ireland, aiming to make robots more life-like. Their creation, called Anthropos, can more around, observe and potentially speak. Though the creators claim it can understand what you're saying, it seems there's still a bit of work to be done (see BBC article). From a technological point of view, the speech recognition is based on Festival, some specialised software which has been developed in Carnagie Mellon. BBC News - Robots With a Friendly Manner
I don't know if this was a marketing ploy or not, but the red hair/blue wig sketch goes down very nicely indeed! |
