Robot comprehends non-verbal communication, watching makes him perfect

The world has become a mechanized mayhem today, with androids intervening into the human sphere. Yes true, these machines are at human mercy, and can do nothing without human intervention. But the way human race is advancing defying the core of Moore's law, we are soon heading for an era, wherein robots will take on as our masters, having learnt themselves the way of the real time, requiring no programming instead an act to do.

Perhaps this is a repeated anecdote, but Japanese have vowed to churn fiction to reality - for which Japan's National Institute of Information and Communication Technology is fast lurching. Researchers at NIICT Japan boast of having designed a robot that can learn human gestures and respond simultaneously.

The latest development in the mechanical spree of the Japanese workshop is, this robot that weighs in as 85 kilos and is 155 centimeters from the ground. The robot's already imbibed with the gestures of the land that bears - bowing, and is too well versed with the suggestions that pointing a figure indicate, himself using 3D vision to recognize gestures and repeat.

The anonymous robot is yet to make its debut, but one intriguing trait of this one has already made him a word of every mouth, he very aptly shows the famous English two-finger gesture - way to go Mr Robo, you do it all before we could even instruct you!
