experts at the Nanyang Technological

University in Singapore in a project led

by Professor Nadia Thalmann.

The robot has been set up as a

receptionist, where it welcomes guests

by smiling, shaking their hands and

putting them at ease with a friendly

chat.

Developers used research and

technology from areas such as

engineering, computer science,

linguistics and psychology in order to

create a ‘virtual human’.

Experts believe that these life­like

robots could soon provide

companionship and care for the lonely

and elderly.

Professor Nadia Thalmann said: “As

countries worldwide face challenges of

an aging population, social robots can

be one solution to address the

shrinking workforce, become personal

companions for children and the elderly

at home, and even serve as a platform

for healthcare services in future.”
