Scientists have designed a new machine—a robot which looks exactly like the famous scientist Albert Einstein. It can recognize and respond to human emotions (情感). The robot is made of special material that allows it to change facial expressions. The material that makes up the robot's face is so detailed that it looks like real human skin.
The robot's designers chose Einstein, the Nobel Prize winner, because he was one of the greatest scientists of all time. They also chose Einstein because his face is very well known and he appear ‘loveable'.
Dr. Hanson, who designed the robot, explained that it was important to develop machines that know what human beings are feeling.
The robot uses computer software that helps it to understand hundreds of human expressions such as sadness, anger, fear and happiness. It can also recognize a person's age, and whether they are male or female. Mr. Movellan, who designed the software, said that in the future the robot could be in museums to help people from different cultures to understand one another.
