Artificial intelligence researcher Hooman Samani has developed the kiss messenger, or Kissenger, to add a new dimension to those wistful Skype-dates with someone far away.
"The basic concept is that you have two robots, both outfitted with an artificial pair of lips," explained Sebastian Anthony of ExtremeTech.
Kissenger system consists of a pair of robots to transfer kiss over distance. "The lips are highly touch-sensitive, but can also be manipulated by motors inside the robot."
The robots are equipped with soft silicon pads that transmit lip movements between partners.
The Lovotics website suggests the Kissenger may appeal to singles and those who want to smooch a virtual character. The robots can use artificial intelligence (AI) to transmit those kinds of kisses, too.
