Scientists have proposed to beat the robots to relieve stress

The object recognizes swear words, “absorbing” them and “recycles” the light of day.

A group of researchers from the University Carnegie Mellon has introduced a new development designed to simplify the process of stress relief and relaxation. It is proposed to use four kinds of “cathartic” robots.

First in the form of a furry pillow “feels” when it is pierced with a sharp object and “responds” special “gestures”, showing when the whole “pain” is learned. When the object stick too many sharp objects, he will continue to shake, until you get all of them, encouraging to complete the “cycle of catharsis”.

The second in the form of a glowing crystal. allows the user to Express all my anger, pain and disappointment in life with simple abuse. The object recognizes swear words, “absorbing” them and “recycles” the light of day.

The third robot is made in the form of rag dolls. He laughs annoyingly, when the user is angry, encouraging on destructive actions to physically Express anger. The doll can beat on any surface and then she will stop laughing.

The fourth allows to send a message and destroy. The user writes or draws an annoying or painful for him the concept on ceramic tile, inserts it in the dock and smashes with a hammer, and Doc emits beeps and blinking lights.

The researchers suggest that such “robots” whipping will get rid of negative emotions without hurting anyone or anything important of this damage.
