Look at the response of the most advanced robots to horror movies: "That music sounds horrible!" |

A few days ago, the researchers used two of the most advanced robots to show them the fragments of the horror film "Morgan" to test their reactions.

The robot Edi even said its fear "Oh! No, I can't stand this." The other robot, FACE, though unable to speak, had its free eyes, and the facial expressions of the twisted bar expressed its "inner thoughts."

"Morgan" directed by Luke Scott, produced by the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, will be released on September 2nd.

The horror film tells the story of an enterprise risk management consultant (Kate Mara) sent to investigate an "artificial man" (Anya Taylor-Joy) and finally decides whether to dispose of this artificial intelligence individual.

Interestingly, the subject of this film happens to coincide with two robots jointly designed by magicLab and the University of Pisa, and the investors who funded the design of these two robots also advocate the development of emotional robots.

“If robots can express their feelings, it will open up a whole new chapter: what we are and how we communicate with them, ” said Marco Tempest, MagicLab's engineer. “This is both daunting but desirable.” .

The name of the robot, Edi, originated from the abbreviation of Electronic Deceptive Intelligence, is the wisdom crystal of magicLab. It aims to observe what kind of sparks the thought and robot fusion will make. Its body is full of sensors, has a pair of mechanical arms and a display screen, a cartoon face is displayed on the screen.

When robot Edi watched the “Morgan” movie, the simulated facial expression on the screen clearly reflected his “inner thoughts”.

The robot FACE name derives from the acronym of Facial Automaton for Conveying Emotions and was developed by the University of Pisa. Although unable to speak, it has a human appearance. Its surface is covered with a biomimetic skin material, Frubber, a silicone-based elastomer that is capable of fine movements like biological skin.

When watching the "Morgan" movie, the robot FACE expresses its "inner thoughts" through facial changes such as eyes, mouth, and chin.

Daniele Mazzei of the University of Pisa Institute said: "The robot Edi wrist has multiple sensors and cameras that can identify the distance between me and Edi's face. The camera on Edi's face is equipped with a sonar sensor to build a point cloud. "Distinguish the distance of moving objects around."

The researchers used two current state-of-the-art robots to show them the fragments of the horror movie "Morgan" to test their reactions. The robot Edi (left) even said its fear "Oh! No, I can't stand this." The other robot FACE (right), although unable to speak, has its free eyes everywhere, and the facial expressions of Tuba have expressed its “inner thoughts”.

In the segment of the test robot's response, the change of facial expression of robot Edi is clearly visible on the screen. In the atmosphere of horror film, Edi even covers its "eye".

"This music is scary," Edi said in the opening video.

"This is a terrible, really scary thing."

"If I have nails, I'm afraid I will scratch them," Edi said after watching the film.

In the segment of the test robot's reaction, the change of the facial expression of the robot Edi (left) is clearly visible on the display screen. In the atmosphere of horror film tension, Edi even covers its "eyes." The robot FACE (right), though unable to speak, has a highly human-like appearance.

The researchers said: "Our research aims to make the robot FACE integrate into the society more attractive. We give it a delicate appearance, human behavior, so that it can have emotional communication with people."

In the process of watching movies, the robot FACE will make different facial expressions in different scenes. When Morgan found a way to leave the prison, the robot FACE made a surprised look at the camera. However, when the "man-made man" also escaped, the robot FACE showed a strange smile with a sense of satisfaction in his eyes.

The name of the robot Edi originated from the abbreviation of Electronic Deceptive Intelligence. It is the wisdom crystal of magicLab. It has sensors on its body, a pair of mechanical arms and a display screen, and a cartoon face on the screen.

The FACE surface of the robot is covered with a biomimetic skin material, Frubber, a silicone-based elastomer that can perform fine movements like biological skin. Developed by the University of Pisa, this seemingly living Android system expresses emotions through facial expressions.

Mazzei said: "However, we still have a problem: The Theory of Horror Valley."

"As far as I know, when a robot is more expressive and more humane, humans will be more afraid of it."

"This is normal, because this is the way humans think."
