Kismet is a robot head which was made in the 1990s at Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Dr. Cynthia Breazeal as an experiment in affective computing; a machine that can recognize and simulate emotions.

Kismet,是一款较早出现的社交机器人，由美国麻省理工大学人工智能实验室仿人机器小组（Humanoid Robotics Group）负责开发的。 仿人机器人，是对于传统机器人概念的一种巨大的转变。 传统的机器人，经常在远离人的恶劣环境下进行一些工作。 比如说，救灾，超长时间重复工作，这些人类很难胜任的，而机器人却得心应手。 但是，健康，管家，娱乐这方面的需求的增加，所以必然需要机器人能够与人进行近距离的交谈，学习，互动娱乐等等。 Kismet其实就是 …

Kismet is an expressive robotic creature with perceptual and motor modalities tailored to natural human communication channels. To facilitate a natural infant-caretaker interaction, the robot is equipped with visual, auditory, and proprioceptive sensory inputs.

Kismet 是一款模仿人头部的机器人，由麻省理工学院的 Cynthia Breazeal （英语：Cynthia Breazeal） 博士在 二十世纪 九十年代 制作，是研究机器能否辨认和模仿人的 情感 的一项实验。 Kismet 一词来自一个 土耳其语 单词，意为“命运”或“好运”。 [1] Kismet 现在放在 美国 Cambridge, Massachusetts 的麻省理工学院博物馆。 为了能使Kismet与人类正常地交流互动，它具有 听觉， 视觉 和 本体感受 的能力输入设备。 Kismet通过各种面部的表情，会发声和移动来模拟人类的 …

2001年2月14日 · It's a robotic head that can interact with humans in a human-like way via myriad facial expressions, head positions, and tones of voice.

Kismet is the first robot designed to explicitly engage people in natural and expressive face-to-face interaction, and it is widely recognized as the pioneering effort in the new field of Social Robotics (or Sociable Robotics).

Kismet is an expressive robot head designed by Cynthia Breazeal, then a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab. The project was an early experiment in affective computing and social robotics. Kismet could display a range of emotions: calm, angry, disgust, interest, sad, happy, surprise.

Kismet is an autonomous robot designed for social interactions with humans and is part of the larger Cog Project. In general, social robotics has concentrated on groups of robots performing behaviors such as flocking, foraging or dispersion, or on …

Kismet是一个机器人头，由Cynthia Breazeal博士在1990年代在马萨诸塞州理工学院（ MIT ）制作，作为情感计算的实验；可以识别和模拟情绪的机器。 Kismet这个名字来自土耳其语，意为“命运”或有时“运气”。
