According to the British Inquirer , Researchers at the Japan National Institute of Information and Communications Technology have developped a robot with non-verbal communications skills. Accordingto the paper, the humanoid can communicate using gestures. The 187-pound robot stands about five feet tall and uses a 3D vision system to recognize gestures like pointing and bowing and determine their meaning, and then use the same gestures when appropriate. The researchers envision this technology being used in caregiver robots for the elderly.
