Inkha is an interactive robotic head which was created in 2002 at King's College London. Inkha uses a camera in its eye to track the movement of people who come close to it. It moves in a lifelike way based on studies of human movement. Inkha exhibits fright when it sees sudden movements and interest when it sees small movements. It becomes bored and goes to sleep if there is nothing of interest to "see". Inkha also speaks periodically about facts and astrology and gives out fashion tips. During 2003 Inkha was enhanced to become a Roboreceptionist at the Strand entrance of King's (). This saw the addition of additional sensors, industrial-grade servo motors and a touch screen so that Inkha can give room directions to visitors. So far the Roboreceptionist has been running for over five years, giving out over 52,000 room directions and making over 57,000 comments in this time. A portable version of Inkha is also available and was installed as a Roboreceptionist at the Cheltenham Science Festival each year between 2004 and 2006. Inkha has appeared on the children's television programme ''Blue Peter'' and been the subject of articles in the science journal ''Nature'' (reprinted here ()) and ''The Times'' (). ==External links== *(Inkha home page ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inkha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
