ALTERING PERCEPTIONS
This creepy-looking robot, called
Alter, was designed by scientists in
Japan. The robot is connected up to
electronic sensors that detect minute
changes in the environment. These
differences in temperature, humidity
or other elements will influence the
robot’s movements, which are
controlled by a brain-like neural
network without any input from
humans.
