Kansei robot displays emotions

The Kansei robot from Japan offers a whole new level of interactivity, featuring a silicon face mask and 19 movable parts that make him capable of expressing up to three dozen facial expressions in reaction to word associations. He can draw from an online database of half a million words at the moment, and the fact that the database itself is self-updating makes Kansei all the more dynamic. For example, Kansei frowns whenever he hears the word 'bomb', smiles when 'sushi' is mentioned and looks disgusted when you bring up the word 'president'. This robot bears a striking resemblance to Bizarro from the Superman comic series.

what we do need is to invent or find ways for all these human beings learn to respect and commmunicate among themseles peacefully, not a robot to talk to him, we need to start understanding and taking care of people not only in our own countries, but also taking care of people in other places such as africa or poor countries where at this moment they are starving or dying. are people in a rich country in general happier than people in oher countries which still have problems to succeed? no way, money is not the answer to be happy, that's why people commit suicide or kill others. technology sholud be used to make this world a world full of happiness. problems in other places affect everyone around the world. think of it
