Telenoid, the robot from Dr. Hiroshi Ishiguro’s R&D lab, follows in the footsteps of its robotic twin Geminoid that created quite a stir at the Ars Electronica Center in 2009. This project focuses on new forms of telecommunication, whereby gaining insights into human behavioral psychology continues to play an important role. Telenoid resembles a baby; you hold it in your arms during the conversation. It’s capable of registering changes in a speaker’s voice and translating this input into gestures and expressions. Two people, each with his/her own Telenoid, can thus each converse with a three-dimensional interlocutor that directly conveys the facial expressions of the other person.
