The AI-powered cuddling robots could provide therapy for future astronauts.
The aim is that these cuddly AI-driven machines will help astronauts cope with stress and even provide companionship on the Red Planet.at the U.S.-based Mars Desert Research Station, operated by the Mars Society in Utah.
“We studied how Paro mitigated feelings of stress and isolation and the data will be useful in supporting research on future analog missions,” a report on the simulation said. This is because the robots' artificial intelligence systems enables them to respond to touch, remember faces and learn and repeat actions that trigger a favorable and pleasant reaction in the patient.The robot boasts dual 32-bit processors, three microphones, 12 tactile sensors, touch-sensitive whiskers, and a network of motors and actuators that see it gracefully, quietly and realistically.
“Animals are expensive, however, and take time to train for these roles, while they also require food and medical care,” he told This Week in Asia. “In comparison, robots are much cheaper and last longer.”
