The robot extracts word associations from a data base of 500,000 words and calculates the level of pleasantness or not and then prompts the robot to make facial expressions. ranging from happiness to sadness, anger and fear — which is expressed by a system of 19 actuators under its silicone skin ..

What is amazing is that the Japanese are known for NOT showing any emotion in their faces…

This guy, believe it or not, is making an expression it associates with "love."
