Disney-Robot can sense if you're happy

Disney unveiled it's first-ever robot that can hear, see and sense whether or not you’re in the room. Yes, “Otto” (picture to the left) is interactive. The robot can sense if you’re happy, hold conversations and react, according to Imagineer Scott Trowbridge.

Otto is based on the new Autonomatronics technology which is different from Audio-Animatronics technology. Audio-Animatronics technology repeats a pre-programmed show over and over again. Autonomatronics technology is driven by sophisticated cameras and sensors giving Otto the ability to make choices about what to say and do.


What do you think about robots that can sense feelings and what do you think will be next?
