Japanese make toddler robot
With a view to study child development rather extensively, scientists at the Osaka University of Japan have devised a toddler robot that moves and acts like a real life kid.
“Our goal is to study human recognition development such as how the child learns a language, recognizes objects and learns to communicate with his father and mother.”Says Minoru Asada, a professor at
Osaka
University,
The toddler robot talks with an artificial vocal cord and can alter his facial expressions and like any other toddler it can crawl down the floor.
What differentiates this robot toddler from a real baby is that he never throws tantrums nether does he cries and is pretty taller, standing at 4 feet, 3 inches…and is no way cute like a real baby.
