MIT Develops Advanced Humanlike Robot.
Many observers on robotics and artificial intelligence, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, remain skeptical that robots will ever be able to perform human like tasks and interact with humans on a social basis.
However, seeing is believing, and if MIT's startling new video is any indication, it appears that researchers at the MIT Media Lab are much closer to overcoming the latter obstacle than previously thought. The product of the Lab's team, directed by Dr. Cynthia Breazeal, is a human-like robot named Nexi that speaks and features complex hand movements and facial gestures.
