A factory in China is developing hyper-realistic humanoid robots that could be used in psychotherapy and counselling.<\/p>\n

In the factory in China’s<\/a><\/strong> northeastern coastal city of Dalian, neck-length silicone masks lie alongside silicone arms and feet, while disembodied heads sit on display and humanoid robots in various stages of construction stand nearby.<\/p>\n

Humanoid robots are the most complex type of robot to build and these ones use artificial intelligence<\/a><\/strong> to learn how to recognise human behaviour and mimic it.<\/p>\n

“There are many basic models and algorithms that are commonly open source, which everyone uses,” says Ex-Robot chief executive Li Boyang.<\/p>\n

“However, we concentrate more on how to enable the AI to recognise and express expressions and emotions.”<\/p>\n

“The model we’re making is multi-modal and capable of emotional expression. It can perceive the surrounding environment and produce appropriate facial feedback,” says Li.<\/p>\n
