Dr. Whippy, Robotic Psychiatrist / Ice-Cream Dispenser
A brilliant (Brilliant!) project developed by Demitrios Kargotis and the Royal College of Art, is almost certainly the first soft-serve dispenser with artificial intelligence.
“Employing voice stress analysis of the user’s answers to specific
questions, varying degrees of unhappiness are measured and the
counteractive quantity of ice cream is dispensed: The more unhappy you
are, the more ice cream you need.”
