Brave New World Inc. has announced that it will receive support from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to pursue a project aimed at bestowing the machines around us with their own unique personalities.
With funding and advisory services from NRC IRAP, the project's goal is the digital simulation of an autonomous character that will respond to users in a lifelike manner. By listening to voice input along with the observation of objects in the environment, facial and body cues, Brave New World's project seeks to bring to life the robots we were promised in the movies.
