Cynthia Breazeal: Robots need to make us happy and know when we’re sad

+Cynthia Breazeal has a pretty impressive resume. She’s the director of the personal robotics group at the +MIT Media Lab, creator of the landmark +Kismet robot and now she’s the founder, CEO and chief scientist at +Jibo. http://www.jibo.com/

If you’re not familiar with Jibo, take a moment to go check out its incredibly successful +Indiegogo page. http://goo.gl/iPiDVN

The goal is to create the world’s first “family robot.”

It’s cute, friendly and smart. Or at least, it will be when it’s delivered to customers.

Breazeal acknowledges that other robots and artificial intelligences have made their impact felt in the home, but they’ve hardly become ubiquitous.

For her the key isn’t about building a robot that performs some specific function, but about building a relationship with the family, which is the core of any household.

People need to feel an emotional bond with their bot. Perhaps not as strong as the one they feel with their dog, but more than they feel with their microwave.

Breazeal isn’t a huge fan of the word “emotional,” however; She thinks it’s too loaded. The phrase she used during her talk at this year’s South by Southwest was “socio-emotive AI.”

The concept is less about the robot’s ability to express emotion, and more about its ability to read emotional and social cues. As she explained, robots should never show “false emotion.”  Meaning that robots should not express emotions they don’t feel. Faking emotion would probably create something like an emotional uncanny valley.
