Child & KismetAs with all of these pages, this page is intended to help users get a broader view of the subject of emotional intelligence than we were able to convey in an hour-long program.

Emotional intelligence may play a significant part in tomorrow's robotics. In the 2001: HAL's Legacy, we hear from Dr. Rosalind Picard and Dr. Cynthia Breazeal, two of the experts in the field of AI which focuses on giving machines emotional intelligence. Below are links to interviews with Breazeal and Picard which offer an in-depth look at the current research being done on the possibility of giving machines emotional intelligence.
Here, we also offer users the opportunity to learn more about Dr. Breazeal's child-like sociable robot, Kismet, which was featured in the program. Kismet engages people in expressive face-to-face interaction using emotive facial expressions, vocal tones, and body postures
