MIT World | Distributed Intelligence Faces and Computer Science For people just back from the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2011, we hope you had a fun time viewing all the exhibits and learning about new and interesting develoments. This page is dedicated to the exhibit on facial perception that was presented by Queen Mary University of London and University College London. Those of you unable to attend the exhibition, have you ever wondered if it would be possible to, one day, have robots that could understand our emotions and intentions in order to then help us carry out everyday tasks? Computer Science research based around faces is giving possible answers to these questions, along with other promising opportunities. Below are links to articles, some of which are contained within issue 13 of the CS4FN magazine and others which give further information on the facial perception topic area.
