Talk:Kismet (robot)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Removed paragraph

I removed this paragraph from the article:

As technology has developed, the need for human-machine interaction has grown, and with that growth, the need arises for machines to become user friendly. For intense human-machine interactions, humanoid robots can alleviate the inherent difficulties in human-machine understanding. Anthropomorphic robots that include facial expressions, voice inflections, body posture and gestures support the modes of communication that humans use, and this diminishes the human-machine complexities that exist between us. One robot being developed to facilitate this principle is Kismet.

It seemed very inappropriate for the topic and it was the very first paragraph — possibly it was copied from an essay? I think I'll go and Copyscape check it after I save this message. — JeremyTalk 03:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Good call. If one was writing a book about Kismet perhaps that would be a good intro, but IMO a Wikipedia article shouldn't have much before the subject. --Alynna 02:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
