Rosalind Picard Alice Rhee
Columbia University
7 February 2007
What defines us as 'human'? For decades scientists have dreamed of creating artificially intelligent machines that would behave like human beings. Recent advances allow robots to mimic human mobility and problem solving capacity—but what about emotion? Is it possible to make a robot feel?
