இங்கிலாந்தில் உள்ள கார்ன் வால் பொறியியல் கல்லூரி விஞ்ஞானிகள் தற்போது மனித பண்புகளுடன் தொடர்புடைய புதிய வகை ரோபோவை வடிவமைத்துள்ளனர். ரோபோ தெஸ்பியான் என பெயரிடப்பட்டுள்ள இந்த ரோபோக்கள் மனிதர்களை போன்று நகைச்சுவை உணர்வு கொண்டவை.
இந்நிலையில் இந்த ரோபோவின் கொமடி நிகழ்ச்சி லண்டன் பார்பிகன் மையத்தில் நடந்தது.
இந்த ரோபோவுடன் இணைந்து லண்டன் ராணிமேரி கல்லூரியின் நிபுணர்கள் ஹீலே, கடேவாஸ் ஆகியோர் கொமடி ஷோவை நடத்தினர்.
Now, robot that is a stand-up comedian.
Scientists have developed an interactive life-sized robot that acts as a stand-up comic and has already garnered many laughs from the audience during its unique performance here.RoboThespian, a robot designed by Engineered Arts of Cornwall in the UK, told jokes that were well received in a recent performance at the Barbican Center in London.
The performance was the idea of Pat Healey, professor of human interaction and head of the school's Cognitive Science Group, and Kleomenis Katevas, doctoral candidate, both at Queen Mary University of London.
The humanoid has been developed for human interaction as an interactive, customisable robot that can be programmed to communicate or entertain. The robot is made available for purchase, lease or rental.
Healey and Katevas put the robot on stage in London as an experiment in audience interaction with a robot engaged in comedy. The two researchers aim to find out more about making a robot socially engaging, 'phys.org' reported.
As audience members watched the robot tell jokes, cameras tracked facial expressions, gaze and head movements.
The human reactions to the robot's performance were compared to responses to two human comedians that had performed before the robot went on stage.
The RoboThespian's stand-up routine is not the first attempt by researchers to explore how robot and human interactions, through humour, might pan out.
Heather Knight, a social robotics researcher at Carnegie Mellon, introduced Data several years ago as a two feet tall comedian at a 2010 Ted Talk.
