Like the present: in the United States created a child robot that can cry, roll up tantrums and get sick
Robot-kid created in the United States. Little robot very similar to a live child, he can even make a tantrum, cry and get sick. All the emotions that are typical of ordinary children, the creators of the company Gaumard Scientific have tried to invest in their creation. Robot name is Hall.
Hall knows how to laugh if he is amused, cry if he has been hurt.
Mechanical boy made for good purposes - he will serve the medicine. Medical students, future pediatricians and surgeons will communicate and work with a small child robot.
The humanoid robot baby is programmed to an approximate age of five years. His emotional sphere and reactions are at the level of a five year old child.
This age is rather complicated from the pediatricians' point of view - the child cannot yet fully explain what and where he has pain, at the same time he can be stubborn, fight hysterically and refuse to be examined and the medical procedures necessary for him.
Therefore, Hall was taught all the basic children's symptoms - he may experience convulsions, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, he has a headache, a stomach, he can get hurt, break an arm or leg. His pupils may expand and contract. Internal veins and vessels are filled with artificial blood. If Hall gets hurt, the wound will almost truly bleed.
While the little boy-robot was sent to future pediatric surgeons, students of medical schools in the United States will train on it in the diagnosis of childhood diseases and manipulations.
Hall knows how to talk, and he does it, of course, in English. The kid of meter height can understand a lot and without words at all, for example, he easily finds with his eyes the object of interest, a toy, can catch the ball.
Child psychologists have already become interested in the medical dummy child. Hall sometimes shows a chain of reactions that were not incorporated into it by programmers, that is, he is learning and already improvising. This is interesting from the point of view of children's psychology.
Cambridge specialists said baby Hall will help humanity learn more about the development of mental illnesses in childhood, as well as possible behavioral responses in response to certain events and stimuli in childhood.
