Love can not be bought, but engineers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) decided to create love. They made a semicircle-shaped robot for a helmet that can build up in love with humans.
Robot affectionately named Lovotic. This robot was created by Hooman Samani, artificial intelligence researcher at the Laboratory of Social Robotics NUS. He describes the concept of robot love these into 11 scientific papers presented it until finally deciding to the real world.
To create this robot, Samani include artificial hormones into the body of the robot. Robot mimics the hormone found in all humans, like the hormone oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. As in humans, the combination of these hormones determines the level of robot love.
In terms of psychology, Samani working copy of affection in the human brain using an MRI scanner. From here he could determine the response of love given to the human robot.
The combination of these hormones work and psychology that makes Lovotic have a real love. This robot can express joy, satisfaction, jealousy, anger, or disgust. Lovotic displaying affection with movement up and down, spinning, sliding, quivering, and looked away. The robot is also equipped with lights that glow in different colors and speakers are voiced according to the gust.
How do I establish love with robots? Samani homemade robot made sensitive to interaction, such as touch, hugs, and kisses. The robot also has a camera that detects human activity with other owners. "Lovotic would be jealous if the owner is too close to others," Samani said in the video presentation.
The main purpose is to encourage the creation of human Lovotic stepped into the era of intensive relations with robots. This relationship can help people who want to adopt a new member in family life.*** [EXTREMETECH|ANTON WILLIAM|KORAN TEMPO 3579]
