A humanoid robot named Kansei, meaning "sensibility" in Japanese, makes a facial expression depicting "happiness", next to the word "Love" during a demonstration at a laboratory of Meiji University's Robot and Science Institute in Kawasaki, south of Tokyo June 4, 2007. The robot, developed by professor Junichi Takeno and a team of researchers, is able to make up to 36 kinds of facial expressions after typing a word to its software which extracts word associations from a data base of 500,000 words and calculates the level ranging between pleasantness to unpleasantness and prompts the robot to make facial expressions accordingly.

Interesting; a society that prides itself on being 'expressionless' makes a robot which shows facial expressions.. Here's one for ya:

I guess the look of happiness is that of a man about to ejaculate.

[/floatr]Alalam: Japanese Robot Fears President!
Kansei frowns when he hears the word "bomb," smiles at "sushi" and looks scared and disgusted when someone says "president" -- and he isn't even human...The robot has 19 movable parts underneath the silicone face mask. When the robot hears the word "president," the online database picks up associated words such as "Bush," "war" and "Iraq" and creates an expression which the researchers said is meant to mix fear and disgust...

Nah, favourite is too restrictive. Any porn mag plays better.

Saw this on TV - nearly pissed myself laughing because I remembered that we covered it on FG already.
