How children perceive robots
"In the cases where children have vivid images of communication before the contact with a robot, when they cannot experience what they expected, the after image became less interesting." Lots more interesting stuff throughout the PaPeRo site. (I have a special fondness for robots that observe themselves via external cameras.)
IbaDaiRon:
Several PaPeRos can communicate with one another.
No doubt this capacity is important in NEC's plans to eventually TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!
PaPeRo can now tell jokes and funny stories.
But I bet it doesn't understand sarcasm any better than its creators, knowharramean?
I don't know, I find them creepy rather than cute....
