Ranga_The_Donga Posted November 1, 2010 Report Posted November 1, 2010 This robot may not have a Rajnikanth-like image, but the model created by a 17-year-old Doon School student possesses emotional intelligence and can even dish out answers for unexpected questions with the help of the internet. The 3-dimension Robo ''iTalk'', an award winning working model, talks in English, lisps like a human and understands human moods of happiness and anger with the help of unique programmed algorithms and a ''software development kit'' offered by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. "The iTalk is a robot capable of communication in a manner similar to humans.Technically, his functional construct also emulates the basic blueprint of the human body. By interpreting data in the same manner we do, he is able to emulate human behavioural tendencies," Arjun, a class-12th student at the Doon School, said."He (the robot) is an intelligent module, able to take decisions on his own, learning from past experiences," he added. Once developed to an advanced stage, the Robo can be used for interface with children and humans for counselling and other purposes, he said.The ''iTalk'' Robo can distinguish between different humans with an accuracy of 97.68 per cent as it is enabled with a stereoscopic vision and face recognition software. "The speech analysis software put inside it enables it to differentiate between different pitches and voice samples," Arjun, who displayed his creation during his school''s 75th founders day celebrations recently, said.[img]http://l.yimg.com/a/i/in/today/67/robot30.jpg[/img]
