25、It’s the weekend, and you decide to visit to your grandma who lives alone. When you arrive, however, you realize that she has another visitor, and you hear through the door the two of them laughing. You walk in and find that the visitor, sitting across the dining table from your grandma, is a robot. It’s laughing at your grandma’s joke.

Such a robot is something that a team of scientists at Kyoto University in Japan are working toward. They are teaching a robot named Erica how to laugh while talking to a human.

“We think that one of the important abilities of robots is empathy” said Dr. Koji Inoue, the leader of the team. So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter.

Erica’s development began with recording different human laughter. The scientists recorded more than 80 conversations. Then they studied the conversations and put the laughter in these conversations into different groups. Next, they trained Erica to learn the characteristics of each group of laughter in order to show them correctly in different situations.

Although the scientists have made some encouraging progress, they said that we are not able to have a natural talk with Erica as we have with a friend now. But then wait a few years, and you may find your own self at that dining table, telling jokes to a robot named Erica.
