• Resumen

  • Marks talks about the SociBot-Mini, a 50-centimeter-high robot built by Will Jackson and his colleagues at Engineered Arts in Penryn UK. The model is one of their first generation of robots, already on sale. SociBot-Mini uses a depth-sensing camera--similar to Microsoft's Kinect system--to capture and recognize gestures. It can also capture facial expressions using a webcam. Computer vision software lets it perform tricks like recognizing people, working out someone's mood from their grimaces and smiles--and guessing their age. It also has some understanding of speech and comes with chatbot software based on Rosette.
