South Korean but US-based tech start-up AKA has launched a small standing robot called Musio that can recognise individual users and objects, and hold emotionally inflected conversations that are informed by previous interactions. The company is currently working on the Musio, which it says will be able to understand human emotions like sadness, anger, fear, happiness, sadness again, etc. Trained on a rich and interactive content database, the bot can do everything from engaging in small talk to holding continuous conversations in a personable manner, all the while shaping its responses in line with what it remembers from past conversations. It can be used as a language tutor to help people learn English at home and AKA has also reached an agreement with the government to deploy it in schools.
