Your gait and your facial expression are nonverbally signaling to other people how much space they should give you. Being able to accurately read these cues is an essential skill for our social species, and perhaps for robots, too. https://t.co/y0PvJMc3k8

This Robot Can Guess How You're Feeling by the Way You Walk

Walk like you're angry, and the emotionally intelligent machine will give you more room, leaving your personal bubble intact.
