From faceless industrial robots on assembly lines to humanoid machines that talk to us, robots have become a part of our lives.<br />Now, Korean researchers have developed a robot that mimics human emotions, like when we hear music.<br />Park Se-young has this report. <br />This robot delivers lines from a movie and captures the emotions of the character.<br /><br /> "You know, my father was right. … Richard Parker never saw me as his friend" - Life of Pi (2012)<br /><br /> This time, it reacts emotionally to music.<br />The robot, which is capable of detailed, subtle movements, was made by piling layers of thin film material.<br />After creating a foldable blueprint of the desired object, the researchers print the blueprint and connect the layers with a string to create a 3D figure.<br /><br /> "Using the same techniques as 3D printing, it creates the desired 3D figure by repeating layers from the bottom. It takes about two to three hours."<br /><br />When the researchers press the strings, the robot moves like a marionette puppet.<br />When combined with artificial intelligence technology, the robot can perform more functions.<br /><br /> "If combined with an intelligence structure, it will be able to react to what I say and interact as such."<br /><br /> The researchers expect the robot to be used for graphics production in the film industry.<br />Park Se-young, Arirang News. <br />
