Google Building Cheeky Robots

Google Wants to put Personality in Robots

" ... Google is working toward the day when robots have individual personalities, according to the company's U.S. patent application. ... If Google's technology works out, robots will have personalities that can be customized to suit the individual people they will be working with. In another step, the robots should be able to tailor their own personalities. ... 

 ... The technology would be geared to anticipate a user's moods based on historical data. Is someone a morning person or does she want to be quiet before she has her coffee? Does the user like jokes or is he more serious, especially in the office? ... " 

This is reminiscent of work we did to put a persuasive personality in our talking Mr Clean Character.  For much more about that, see the Mr Clean link below.  We will see more of this as more cognitively based systems share our environments and learn to interact with us.
