Aging is intensifying, and there are more and more elderly people living alone. The normal state in their lives is loneliness, longing for others' companionship and verbal communication. Kyoto University in Japan recently launched a robot that can analyze the characteristics of human laughter and laugh with it. The research group hopes to create robots that can understand dialogue and emotions to accompany the elders.
This humanoid robot that can "smile with you" uses AI artificial intelligence to comprehensively analyze various factors such as the frequency and volume of human tone, the frequency and volume of laughter, and judge the categories of laughter, and make different laughs to cooperate with the chat.
In response to this, Assistant Professor Inoue said: "The first time it laughed with me, I felt like we understood each other's hearts. As society ages, I want to build a robot that allows people to be happy to talk to it." The research team will use robots with similar functions to continue to study the impact of "laughing together" on human psychology.
Regarding this interesting invention, some netizens said: "The greatest invention in the world." "I hope it can accompany the elderly." "Can robots replace humans in the future?"
