...robots that make smells:
Pomi (Penguin Robot for Multimodal Interaction) can see, hear, touch and emit smells as well as making faces, Friday's Korea Times reported. It was developed by the state-run Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) which plans to put Pomi to commercial use. The institute said Pomi's software, which imitates human expressions of emotion, will be available on the market by the end of next month. The robot can move its lips, eyebrows and even pupils freely to make faces and can emit two kinds of fragrances to match its emotions.Let's all pray that the Korean's never design a kimchi eating penguin robot that can "emit" smells.
Can't claim that I have much need in my day-to-day life for a robot that can emit smells.
ReplyDeleteNope.
Nothing coming to mind.
No urgent need being unmet.
