In the AI era ahead, will we be able to connect emotionally with humanoid robots? This could become one of the most important questions we face.
And ultimately, shouldn’t humans remain in control of machines?
Throughout this project, I explored what it might mean for a machine—something we see as purely rational—to have emotions. On the surface, the project may seem like a simple functional demonstration, but at its heart, it is about humanity. That tension made it especially meaningful and engaging for me.
This is the direction I hope to explore in the future of HRI—Human-Robot Interaction.
