It is much easier and cheaper to build a robot like Jibo,which uses simple movements and has the ability to interact with people through sound,pictures and touch. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal created Jibo first as a tool for exploring how people communicate with technology. “Jibo as a robot is something that can move,with cameras that can move and see you and interact with you like a living thing,so to speak.It can bring satisfaction to life off the screen in an entirely new way,” explained Brezeal. Jibo can remind you about appointments,take photos,entertain people and tell stories to children.It also has touch-sensitive(触感的) technology. “People often communicate through touch,so they might pat Jibo if it does something that they like and Jibo can actually learn from that,” said Breazeal. |
