Nao: A Robot Deception Expert
I don’t know the scientific reason behind a creating a robot capable of detecting human emotion. I don’t. I can tell you that any robot who knows when we are happy and when we are terrified for our lives is not worth building.
Nao is able to detect human emotions through a series of non-verbal “clues”, such as body-language and facial expressions, and becomes more adept at reading a person’s mood through prolonged interaction.
This understanding, along with a set of basic rules about what is “good” and “bad” for it, allow the robot to indicate whether it is “sad” or “happy”.
If that wasn’t bad enough, it can detect, pick up, and move objects that get in its way when it’s walking and it can stand up by itself after it’s been knocked over. It can also communicate with other Nao robots via infrared, wifi and voice.
This robot is going to kill us. It’s going to feign emotion and when it detects that we are at ease with it, it will strike.
TONIGHT @ 8:30pm. Thank You, Robot and others in the Triple Crown basement. Great way to wrap up your weekend.
FRIDAY @ 10:30pm. Thank You, Robot presents Summer Fridays at Under St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place). With special speacial guest teams Blood Money and Dreamboat (2010 Indie Cagematch Champions). Seriously, these two teams are teams to watch!
We asked our male viewers what they think of urinary targeting systems.
4% said “I can aim just fine.”
96% said “Hold on, I have to go to the bathroom.”

This is why you never bring a gun to a robot fight.
NUKE IT FROM ORBIT of the Day: The Telenoid R1 “minimalist humanoid robot,” developed by a joint team of researchers from Osaka University and the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute “to add an element of realism to long-distance communication by recreating the physical presence of the remote user,” will prevent you from ever making another long-distance call ever again forever.
