🤖 World's First Emotional Robot

The world's first emotional robot, at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference

• Humanlike Emotional Display: Developed by Fudan University in Shanghai, Guanghua No 1 stands 165 cm tall, weighs 62 kg, and features 45 intelligent joints. The robot can show emotions such as happiness, anger, sadness, and joy on its facial screen.

• Elderly Care Focus: The primary purpose of Guanghua No 1 is to meet the emotional needs of China's aging population, especially in elderly care and health services. Its emotional intelligence is modeled after the brain's motivation and dopamine reward systems.

• Advanced Testing and Development: Extensive tests are being conducted in provinces like Jiangsu and Zhejiang to ensure the robot's accuracy and safety. The trial version of Guanghua No 1 is expected to be released by the end of 2024, with ongoing improvements to its emotional responsiveness and care capabilities.

🚨 Cop Pulls Over Driverless Waymo

Who Gets the Ticket When a Driverless Car Breaks the Law?

So, Phoenix police pulled over a Waymo robotaxi, but surprise—no one was inside to take the blame. The car had wandered into oncoming traffic, probably thinking it was in some sci-fi movie.

The officer looked around, confused, and ended up chatting with a Waymo support person through some tech magic. But guess what? No human driver means no ticket, and the cop had to let it go with a shrug.

Waymo said the car got mixed up because of some confusing construction signs. Yeah, right. Anyway, they promised to dig into the car's techy brain to figure out what went wrong.

The incident wrapped up with Waymo saying it was just a momentary glitch, but people aren't convinced, especially since another Waymo car had a similar mishap in Phoenix.

Here's where things get tricky—the law doesn't have a clue how to handle ticketing a robot. No driver, no ticket, no consequences. This has everyone scratching their heads and debating how to hold these autonomous cars accountable. People are calling for new rules to make sure companies like Waymo take responsibility when their tech goes haywire.
