Kismet (robot)

Kismet is a robot that looks like a real person. It has eyes that can blink, eyes that can move and look around, and a mouth that can move as if it is talking. Kismet can also sense when people are nearby and respond to them with different facial expressions, body language, and even sounds. The robot can remember people's faces and names, and it can even have simple conversations with them. Kismet's main purpose is to study how humans interact with each other and with robots, so that robots can become smarter and better at understanding people.
