With its hairless silicone skin and blue complexion, Emo the robot looks more like a mechanical re-creation of the Blue Man Group than a regular human. Until it smiles.
In a study published March 27 in Science Robotics, researchers detail how they trained Emo to smile in sync with humans. Emo can predict a human smile 839 milliseconds before it happens and smile back.
Right now, in most humanoid robots, there’s a noticeable delay before they can smile back

Along the border wall separating Israel and the Gaza Strip, tens of thousands of soldiers are making the final preparations for a full-scale ground invasion.
But soon, the sight of massed troops might seem as much a relic of the past as knights on horseback appear to us now.
That’s because the wars of the future will not only be fought by humans, but also by machines.
Already, the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has developed and deployed a staggering arsenal
It is powered into flight by a rocket engine. It can fly a distance equal to the width of China. It has a stealthy design and is capable of carrying missiles that can hit enemy targets far beyond its visual range.
But what really distinguishes the Air Force’s pilotless XQ-58A Valkyrie experimental aircraft is that it is run by artificial intelligence, putting it at the forefront of efforts by the U.S. military to harness the capacities of an emerging technology
From the creepy to the downright bizarre, the world’s most ingenuous robotic creations are on display at the eighth World Robot Conference in China this week.
The annual event, a platform for promoting business in the robotics sector, is taking place at Beijing’s Etrong International Exhibition and Convention Center.
Among the machines on show are realistic humanoids with synthetic skin, four legged ‘dogs’ and hospitality robots serving customers food and drink.
