For Long-Distance Relationships: A Kissing Robot That Sends Physical Kisses

How pathetic this is? Or maybe this is innovative?  Is this more personal than a private social networking app for partners that allows users to use their thumbs to ‘kiss’? 

Koliko je ovo patetično? Ili možda inovativno? Da li je više lično od aplikacije na društvenoj mreži koja dozvoljava korisnicima da koriste ikonice/sličice za poljupce?


Singapore-based robotics research group Lovotics has developed a system that lets its users transfer kisses over long distances.

Singapurska kompanija za istraživanje robotike Lovotics razvila je system koji dozvoljava korisnicima da šalju jedno drugom poljupce na daljinu! 


Called ‘Kissenger’ (kiss messenger), the system consists of a pair of small robots with large lips, and provides a physical way of transferring kisses through interactive devices.

Nazvan “Kisindžer” (kiss messenger – poljubac poruka), system se sastoji od para malih robota sa velikim usnama koji omogućavaju da se poljubac fizički prenese preko interaktivnih sprava.


The lips of the robot have force-sensitive resistors—and when the lips of the robot are kissed, the pressure differences on multiple points of the lips are transmitted to the other ‘kissenger’ device, which reproduces the kiss based on the data transmitted.

Usne robota sadrže otpornike osetljive na silu, i kad korisnik poljubi usne robota, ralika u pritisku na različitim tačkama usana robota se prenose na drugi ‘kissenger’ uređaj, koji reprodukuje poljubac na osnovu primljenih podataka.
