Robotic poet enjoys sea beauty

Poet on the shore is the first romantic robot. Its only task is to walk along the sea shore, listen to wash of the waves, birdsong, and enjoy sea wind.

The robotics poet sometimes stops to express its impressions from everything it has seen and heard in verse. The machine writes down these lines and then long watches how the waves wash off all the words.

The unusual robot was made by Chinese designer Yuxi Liu. She equipped her solution with a couple of sensors, helping it to take the world: respond to the sea noise and other sounds. It is machine learning technology that accounts for verse writing.
