ETRI showcases emotional robots
2007/11/12 19:19ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Intitute) recently showed off their "emotional robots" KOBIE and RABIE. The Korea Times has an article that focuses on KOBIE:
The secret of such shrewdness is its wireless communication function. When the tactile, light, audio and posture sensors hidden in Kobie's puffy body receive certain signals, they are wirelessly transmitted to a nearby server station, such as a home PC.
Here's a photo of KOBIE from the RobotWorld 2007 Conference held in October.
While not discussed in the Times article, RABIE is targeted more directly as an educational play tool for children.
