Einstein Robotic Head Looks Almost Like the Real Thing

March 2, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 0 comments

Even though the famous physicist has been dead for over 50 years, it seems that Einstein, or at least a part of him, has recently been reincarnated in the form of a very life-like looking robotic head. The head, which was designed by Hanson Robotics, can interact with people in a relatively natural way, thanks to specialized software created by Scientists at Calit2. As seen in the previous video, the robot can recognize and respond to various human facial expressions, potentially making it a great tool for purposes such as entertainment, teaching and even cognitive therapy.
