Gules

UK robotics researchers have taken up the task of creating a robot that would reproduce human facial expressions most accurately, and it seems they succeeded. Jules, the result of their combined efforts, is a bodyless talking robot head that can make use of its 34 under-skin servo motors in order to move its facial "muscles," such as lips, eyebrows or foreheadThe scientists from the University of Bristol have managed to develop a piece of software that would transmit images of a human face to the robot's "brain", which will appropriately adjust the motion of the engines, which in turn will move the rubber skin and the eyes in order for the robotic face to reflect the respective images. .
