Apple's ELEGNT Framework Makes Robots More Engaging, Potentially Changing Human-Robot Interaction

A recent study released by Apple reveals that the company is developing a new framework called ELEGNT, aimed at enabling non-anthropomorphic robots to exhibit more natural and expressive movements, which could open new avenues for the future development of home robots. The research team used a robot modeled after the lamp character in Pixar's animation "Luxo Jr.", equipped with a 6-axis robotic arm and a head featuring lighting and projection capabilities. Through the ELEGNT framework, researchers have enabled the robot to not only perform functional tasks but also convey intent and emotion through its movements.
