In this TED video Rodney Brooks showed the intelligence, interactions and emotions of robots. For example when the KISMET robot was told he was doing bad, he lowered his head in shame. When the robot was having a conversation with another person he was focused and followed the eye direction of the human and kept up with the conversation while making eye contact. Two piece of information i found interesting is the fact that a robot can keep up a conversation and not just drop out of it or get confused but can actually say real English words. The emotions that the robot showed was very interesting to me, considering the fact that a robot is a man-made machine but can show emotion like any other human is very interesting to me. It show happiness and shame like any other human in this world. They are just like humans in a way. But one question remains: will these robots try to take over our lives? Once they figure out they are more devolved than us, in certain ways. Well that is something that we will have to wait to find out.
