August 8th, 2010

Scientists at the University of Hertforshire are leading the project to create robot which can develop emotions during interaction with humans. Nao, a robot, which can now develop emotions such as shrug shoulders when sad or raise eyebrows when surprised and more. But the big question is whether emotions help create any additional laws to the existing three fundamental laws of robotics? This project is run by the Adaptive Systems Research Group at University of  Hertfordshire.

The Adaptive Systems Research Group in Hertfordshire is a multidisciplinary group of faculty, students, and friends of the University of Hertfordshire who have a connection to research in Adaptive Systems and related areas. The group was founded and is co-organized by Prof. Kerstin Dautenhahn and Prof. Chrystopher Nehaniv.
