An emotional robot designed to monitor and respond to its users' affective cues has been deemed too scary to show to kids under the age of 18.
"We want to investigate how people react when they first encounter Mo, as we lovingly like to call the robot," said Prof Warwick.
"Through one of Mo's eyes, he can watch people's responses to him following them around.
"It appears this is not deemed acceptable for under 18-year-olds without prior consent from their legal guardian.
"This presents us with a big problem as we cannot demonstrate Mo in action either to visitors or potential students."
