Smelly Emotional Robots - Pomi Emits Smells & Makes Faces
Pomi Emits Smells & Makes Faces

South Korean researchers have unveiled Pomi (Penguin Robot for Multimodal Interaction),  a Robot penguin that can see, hear, touch and interact with humans by emitting smells and making faces.

Set to be available commercially, Pomi can move its lips, eyebrows and pupils to make “faces”. Also, the robot pet features a “heart box” on its chest with different kinds of heartbeats depending on its mood and emotional state. And to make things smelly, Pomi can emit two kinds of fragrances to showcase its emotions.

Pomi is programmed to answer users through voice-recognition technology and various sensors allow it to recognise and locate humans. "Technologies of emotional expressions and user-interactive functions used in Pomi will contribute to the upgrading of robotic companions, and also to the manufacturing of more intelligent service robots," Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute said.
