IFOMIND: ADAPTING ROBOT

Professor Bell likened the reaction of the robot to how an animal may react to another it has not previously seen.

Initially reacting in a “fearful” manner when encountering a new object, Ifomind has also been equipped with inquisitiveness.

This means the robot recognises it can react in different ways and does not have to be scared of something which may not be harmful to it.
