Why are the faces of others such an integral part of our communication system and how do we recognise them? How can we make a robot appreciate faces in the same way as a human? Presented by Sam Duffy and a finalist at the CERN film festival, this collection of films highlights the advances made in the field of face recognition in social robots, but also stresses how difficult the task is and how far we are from creating a truly social robot.

Can we produce a robot that behaves in a sufficiently social and intelligent way so as to fit into a human social environment? Ruth Aylett introduces Sarah, the social robot. She explores Sarah's achievements and limitations in terms of facial tracking and recognition. Speech, emotion and gesture recognition is also explored.
