Sony Files To Patent A Gamer Robot Friend That Will Cheer You On

in Robots5 years ago

"Sony has designed a “feeling deduction unit” — in essence, a fuzzy-looking robot that can intuit a user’s feelings and respond appropriately."

"By analyzing a feed of data from the camera and sensors, the robot would pick up on the gamer’s verbal, paralinguistic (e.g., speed, volume, and tone of voice), and nonverbal cues, as well as the user’s sweat and heart rates.

The system would categorize these inputs based on feeling indexes, such as joy, anger, love, and surprise.

The robot would then respond in real-time through speech and gesture, such as by throwing its arms up in celebration or commiserating after a harsh loss."
