Summary[edit]

Description
Shall We Play a Game?

An experiment is about to begin at the Honda Research Institute studying how robots can help children learn.

A headband tracking camera is lying on the table, and will record where the child diverts their attention – do hand and head gestures distract or aid in communication? How do children respond to a robo-voice versus one that sounds much like themselves?

Early result: the four-year olds were scared of a single step forward and back by the robot. So the feet were disabled yesterday for the rest of the study.

I also got to see ASIMO reboot a few times, with the cheery yet eerie welcome message "Wizard of Oz is connected”

When I asked how many ASIMOs there are, they looked a bit nervous and told me that is a strict company secret. Sounds like a clone army in the making. =)

Here are 20 years worth of ASIMOs, and video from the Cognitive Computing conference.
