Science and technology
Lastweek, Japanese researchers have created and developed infant robot for better understanding how to human grows up.
The infant robot name Noby that it is derived from “nine-month-old baby” word. It can action like real infant. It has 600 sensors through its body to feel touch. Moreover, it has cameras and microphones for vision and hearing, and it is connected between computer and its body.
Noby is 71 centimeters tall and weighs 7.9 kilograms that it is very similar to a nine-month-old baby. It has soft skin like baby, and it has many joints that can move well.
This project is cooperation between Tokyo University professor, Yasuo Kuniyoshi and The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. They are using it to examine theories of human development.
It is set by computer software which the researchers can analyze its result about how it reacts to human actions and its surroundings, and compare it with the behaviour of real children.
I agree with the infant robot because it makes researchers know more about function of baby's body that will help learning human development.
