Can Robots Love You Back?
~1.7 mins read
Can you love your robot and can your robot love you back?
According to Dr. Hooman Samani the answer is yes and it is already happening.
 
Dr. Samani is the director of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Technology Laboratory in Taiwan. He coined the terms lovotics — a combination of the words love and robotics — and studies 'bidirectional' love between robots and humans.
 
He's developed a prototype called the lovotics robot. It doesn't look like much. It resembles a furry, white roomba. The difference is its sophisticated AI system that includes an artificial endocrine system (AES) with digital hormones, including oxytocin, often referred to as the love hormone.
"When this robot interacts with people, level[s] of oxytocin in the robot, of course, in an artificial way, would also change gradually," says Dr. Samani.
 
Overtime, as exposure to a human increases, so does the level of oxytocin released in the robot.
So, not only does the lovotics robot adjust its digital hormone levels to external stimuli overtime, but the release of those digital hormones affect the robot's behaviour too. We then read those behaviours as certain emotions like happiness, jealousy and even love.
 
"[The robot] can show certain levels of energy, or it can show certain levels of excitement, in their behaviour, and people start to understand those kinds of behaviours to [have a] certain emotion to them."
Figuring out whether you love your robot is easy. We'd just ask you, 'Do you love your robot?' But, how do we measure whether your robot loves you?
 
Dr. Samani says that in our human-to-human relationships, if he wants to know whether your partner loves you, he's going to ask you whether you feel loved by your partner.
 
Same goes for the bidirectional love between humans and robots.
"Basically a robot is a piece of machine. So, we don't care about the feedback directed from the robot. We care about, does the robot give the feeling to the person that the robot loves me?" says Dr. Samani
"We can say, "I love my robot due to certain feelings that I have,' And [the] second part, 'I do believe that my robot shows certain elements to me that I believe that I am being loved by the robot.'"

How Do New Born Babies Look Like?
~2.2 mins read
Newborns have big heads, no necks, short legs and big, distended torsos. In short, they look like ET. Because newborns have spent an average of 12 hours squeezing through the birth canal, their head can often be a little pointy. Babies born by caesarean often have an edge, beauty-wise, because their heads don't have to squeeze through the birth canal.

Don't be alarmed by the soft spots on your baby's skull, known as fontanelles , which allows the head to compress enough to fit through the birth canal. The rear fontanelle takes about four months to close, while a front one takes between nine and 18 months. Also expect your baby's genitals to be somewhat swollen from the extra dose of female hormones he got from you just before birth; the face and the eyes can appear swollen as well. The skin on the palms of his hands and soles of his feet may have a bluish tinge for the first few hours of life.

Newborn skin varies in appearance according to how many weeks pregnant you were when your baby was born. Premature babies have thin, transparent-looking skin and may be covered with lanugo, a fine, downy hair. Babies born prematurely will also still be covered with vernix, a greasy white substance that protects his skin from the amniotic fluid. Full-term and late babies will have only a few traces of vernix in the folds of their skin. Late babies may also have a slightly wrinkly appearance and very little, if any, lanugo.

Birthmarks - ranging from temporary off-coloured patches to permanent splotches - are common. About half of all babies are born with milia , white dots on their faces that look like tiny pimples. These disappear in time.
Whatever your own and your partner's hair colour, be prepared for some surprises: remember, you are both carrying genes from former generations. Dark-haired couples have been thrown when their children are born with bright red or blond hair and vice versa. And then there are the parents who bemoan their baby's baldness. In fact, newborn hair doesn't actually have much bearing on what your child's hair will eventually turn out like. 

Raven-haired newborns can grow up to be blondes, while blondes often turn into brunettes.
Of course, your baby may be completely bald when he is born, in which case you won't know his hair colour till a little later on.
Wondering what colour your baby's eyes will be? Most Caucasian babies are born with dark blue eyes and their true eye colour - be it brown, green, hazel or blue - may not reveal itself for a few months. The colour of your baby's eyes in the first minutes after birth won't last - exposure to light changes a baby's initial eye colour. Most babies of African or Asian origin have dark grey or brown eyes at birth, their dark eyes becoming a true brown or black after the first six months or year. Children with mixed heritage can have a variety of different eye colours. It's also possible for babies to be born with eyes of two different colours, although this is rare.
