the honda ‘3E robotics concept’, standing for empower, experience and empathy, are a team of robots purposed to assist people in many situations, from natural disasters to recreation. the most human-like of which, the ‘3E-A18’, is a charming companion that uses a variety of facial expressions to help develop social interactions and relationships. oppositely in terms of AI, the ‘3E-B18’ is a chair-type mobility device aimed for casual use for indoor or outdoor settings.
