Robots that can read emotion and mimic movements are just some of the capabilities on show at the ‘Innorobo’ exhibition in the French city of Lyon.
Innrobo showcased 500 ‘bots’ with a variety of functions.
Take ‘Pepper,’ a robot designed to live with humans, the machine is able to interact and even recognise different emotions.
