情感机器人 emo robot

孤独是现代人的通病，于是科学家研发出了emo robot ——“情感机器人”，这种机器人能够读懂人的情感，还能与人互动，也许未来的人类会把情感机器人当作自己最亲密的朋友。

Ever feel like no one really understands you? Well "Pepper" could be about to change all that. That's because Pepper is actually a robot and touted as the world's first with the ability to read emotions.

总是觉得没人真正了解你？那么“小辣椒”将会改变这一现状。“小辣椒”其实是个机器人，被认为是世界上第一款能读懂人类情感的机器人。

Standing under four-feet tall with a tablet computer mounted to its chest, "Pepper" has human-like hands and a mermaid-like lower torso. Despite the high-pitched voice, Pepper is able to converse about everything from the weather, to more sophisticated topics like the latest fluctuations in the stock markets.

“小辣椒”有四英尺高，胸前有一台平板电脑，有着类似人的手臂和像鱼尾的身体。它的声音虽然尖了点，但能聊小到天气，大到股市最新波动等复杂的话题。

Using its emotion recognition functions, Pepper can react to people by making jokes, dancing and even rapping. It can also make eye contact when meeting people.

“小辣椒”能运用情感识别功能对附近的人做出反应：讲笑话、跳舞，甚至说唱。它还能与人进行眼神交流。
