Claire chatted to Carl Strathearn from Edinburgh Napier College about humanoid robots, real looking robotic faces and speech.

Carl Strathearn is a researcher serious about creating assistive social humanoid robots with embodied AI methods that seem, perform, and work together like people. He believes that creating real looking humanoid robots is critical to humanity because the human face is essentially the most pure interface for human communication, and by emulating these situations, we are able to improve accessibility to state-of-the-art know-how for everybody and help folks with particular well being situations and circumstances of their day-to-day lives.
