Robot shares kiss with human in a play

When Judy Norman walks on stage for the play "Spillikin", she performs beside a somewhat different cast member - a humanoid robot. Featuring a "robothespian", the play brings love and technology together for a story about a robot maker who builds a robot to keep his wife company after he dies. Cornwall-based Pipeline Theatre, which has worked with robotics company Engineered Arts for the project, is touring across England.

"We have pre-programmed every single thing the robot says and every single thing the robot does, all the moves," writer and director Jon Welch said. "So the robot will always say the same thing and move in the same way depending on what cue is being triggered at what particular time." The robot is connected to the theater's control room, where a laptop transmits cues for its performance. (Reuters)
