Would you be comfortable being surrounded by robots?
A British manufacturing firm is trying to make robots that
share more human characteristics, to make interaction with them more
natural and intuitive than ever before.
Cornwall's Engineered Arts is in the vanguard of this area of
research, which aims to make robots' facial expressions, body language
and way of moving more recognisable to real people.
Founder Will Jackson gave a tour of his robot factory to the
BBC, and explained how he and his team of a dozen people are looking to
expand the frontiers of robot technology.
