Now if you didn't know I love computers, that sounds really sad, but anyway as part of this love I also love robotics. So when you combine robotics and AI I fall in love.
This real looking seal (with I admit rather strange eye lashes) is designed by a Japanese company and "Paro" is designed to respond to petting by moving its tail, opening and closing its eyes, and making seal-like noises. It can also respond to sounds, learn a name, and show emotions. All of these features are designed to have a calming effect on humans.
And the best thing is it will only costs $5, 531 or £3, 518. I know I am putting this on my Christmas list.
See you soon folks,
Kris
PS: I will be changing my blog posting days to Saturday from now on because I have more time.
