Japan's latest robot, called Kansei and created by a university research team, can pull up to 36 different facial expressions based on a program which creates word associations from a self-updating online database of 500,000 keywords.
The English keywords then trigger the most appropriate facial expression, which ranges from happiness to sadness, anger and fear.
The researchers who created him hope to imbue a sense of consciousness in robots. Along with speech abilities, the ability to express emotion could be beneficial to the infirm or those in nursing homes. Rather than a cold machine that simply runs with a steady beep, Kansei would be able to relate and talk to patients.

Kansei frowns when he hears the word ‘bomb’.More related:
