Social Robotics Research
Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Sunday, June 7th, 2009
Evidently, there was no Friday Night Robotics last week! You might be wondering why…
I’m creating a new method for creating social robots. Currently, the social robots are usually ‘hard-coded’ with beliefs, values, etc.
What I’m researching is a way to create an artificial society with numerous layers of socialization to create this social robot.
I’ll post more details later, but I think this is enough to excite some of the readers who read this feed.

Welcome!
