An AI-powered robot named Emo watches people’s facial expressions and tries to match them, in an effort to make robots more relatable
A humanoid robot can predict whether someone will smile a second before they do, and match the smile on its own face. The creators hope the technology could make interactions with robots more lifelike.at Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have created a robot called Emo that uses AI models and high-resolution cameras to predict people’sand try to replicate them. It can anticipate whether someone will smile about 0.9 seconds before they do, and smile itself in sync.
Emo consists of a face with cameras in its eyeballs and flexible plastic skin that has 23 separate motors attached to it by magnets. The robot uses two neural networks: one to look at human faces and predict their expressions and another to work out how to produce expressions on its own face.The first network was trained on YouTube videos of people making faces, while the second network was trained by having the robot watch itself make faces on a live camera feed.
Lipson and his team hope that Emo’s technology will improve human-robot interactions, but they first need to broaden the range of expressions the robot can make. They also hope to train it to make expressions in response to what people are saying, rather than simply mimicking another person, says Lipson.
