Kismet

Kismet, a robot made at MIT, is capable of interacting in human social interaction and can demonstrate human emotion and appearance.

It uses 4 narrow field cameras and 2 wide field ones. Four Motorola 68332 microprocessors execute the high-level perception system, the motivation system, the behavior system, the motor skill system, and the face motor system.

Vision processing, visual attention and eye/neck control is performed by nine networked 400 MHz PCs. Expressive speech synthesis and vocal affective intent recognition runs on a dual 450 MHz PC and the speech recognition system runs on a 500 MHz PC. The robot can also demonstrate 18 DOFs.
