A robot has taught itself to smile, frown, and make other human facial expressions using machine learning. To get the incredibly realistic Einstein robot to make facial expressions, researchers used to have to program each of its 31 artificial muscles individually through trial and error. Now, computer scientists from the Machine Perception Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego have used machine learning to enable the robot to learn expressions on its own.
I rolled my ankle jacking off on a ladder.
just like how the personal computer changed the world we live in, the personal robot will change our world too. apple's version on the robot; the ibot
The next step is to get the Einstein robot to start socializing. Once the robot can mimic facial expressions in a social context, the researchers plan to use him in an “automatic tutoring” experiment.“We’re putting facial expressions onto the robot so that he can engage with a pupil in a non-verbal manner and approximate one-on-one human tutoring as much as possible,” Bartlett said. “Studies have shown that human one-on-one tutoring improves learning by as much as two standard deviations — we want to know how can you try to approximate that with robotic tutoring.”
Hmmmm.....i dunno about you guys, but i'm not really stoked on this. At this rate, who knows what they'll be capable of in years time. today, they're teaching themselves how to smile.....tomorrow, they're gonna stab their creators in the backs and unleash some "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" shit on the world.
but can it teach it's self to love?
