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.

A finalist at the CERN film festival (a worldwide festival for films surrounding the themes of science and technology), this short film compares face recognitions in humans and robots. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no 215554.
