Tencent Digital (Anan) Cambridge University has developed a robot that mimics human facial expressions.
Cambridge wants to apply body language to the machine to see if it can be used to allow humans and robots to communicate more. Researchers have developed a complex system consisting of a computer program and a mechanical servo system that are connected to the camera. The camera records human facial expressions.
The recorded video is sent to the computer, which analyzes various facial features, such as the characteristics of the eyelashes, chin, mouth, etc., and then sends the information to Charles. The name of the robot is called Charles. Next, Charles will use various mechanical servo systems to imitate the expression. The whole process takes about 2-3 seconds.
Professor Peter Robinson said that Charles evolved from the study of expressive intelligence interfaces. He said: "We have always been interested in knowing if we can give computers a greater ability to understand social signals, facial expressions, intonations, body postures and gestures."
Robinson also said: "Can computer systems and machinery really show the same characteristics? We think this question is worth studying, it is very interesting; if the machine can respond with facial expressions, this kind of response can only be done by people, people will not More communication with the machine? This is what we want to know. For the above reasons, we developed Charles."
It is a pity that although Charles can smile and frown like a human, but the action is too stiff.
Robinson said: "Charles is extremely realistic, and the repair technology used is quite high, but the motor is not as good as human muscle. Our control program is not good enough, and the performance of detecting human facial expressions is not good enough, it does not look too good. Naturally," he added. "Most people will find Charles a bit weird. It can be seen that if there is a distorted facial expression, it is easy for humans to discover. These differences may suggest that this person is sick, or have other the reason."
Although Charles is not perfect, it is still useful. Robinson said: "People are very interested in robots. If you put the robot out on the open day, there will be many people watching."
Will the future robot take over the world from human hands? Robinson said: "No, you just need to unplug the plug."
A basket is a container that is traditionally constructed from stiff fibers and can be made from a range of materials, including wood splints, runners, and cane. While most baskets are made from plant materials, other materials such as horsehair, baleen, or metal wire can be used. Baskets are generally woven by hand. Some baskets are fitted with a lid, while others are left open on top.
Baskets serve utilitarian as well as aesthetic purposes. Some baskets are ceremonial, that is religious, in nature.While baskets are usually used for harvesting, storage and transport, specialized baskets are used as sieves for a variety of purposes, including cooking, processing seeds or grains, tossing gambling pieces, rattles, fans, fish traps, and laundry.
