A humanoid robot called KOBIAN that can express seven emotions using bodily gestures was unveiled this week at Waseda University.

KOBIAN has several motors embedded in his face, which are programmed with movements that communicate emotion. KOBIAN can raise both hands and open its eyes wide to express surprise, look down and gesture as if crying to express sadness, and bring its hands forward or look away to express disgust.
