Kissenger: Kiss Messenger, A Lovotics Application

Kissnger is an application of Lovotics. Kissenger system consists of

a pair of robots to transfer kiss over distance
Kissenger provides a novel way of transferring a kiss through interactive digital media.
It provides a physical interface enabling kiss communication for
several applications facilitating intimate human tele-presence with the real and virtual worlds.
Kissing is a very important mode of human communication that involves joining lips
in order to express many deep felt positive emotions such as affection, respect,
greeting, farewell, good luck, romantic affection or sexual desire.
Apart from the surface level enjoyment humans have by kissing,
it also plays a crucial biologically motivated role
in allowing prospective mates to smell and taste each other's pheromones
for detecting compatibility.
With the aid of digital communication media and advanced robotic technology,
the system takes the form of an artificial mouth that provides
the convincing properties of the real kiss.

Kissenger enables three modes of interaction

A- Human to Human tele-kiss through the device: bridges the physical gap between
two intimately connected individuals. Kissenger plays the mediating role
in the kiss interaction by imitating and recreating the lip movement of both users
in real time using two digitally connected artificial lips.

B-Human to Robot kiss: enabling an intimate relationship with a robot, such
technology provides a new facility for closer and more realistic interactions
between humans and robots. In this scenario, one set of artificial lips is
integrated in a humanoid robot.

D- Human to Virtual character physical/virtual kiss: provides a link between
the virtual and real worlds. Here, humans can kiss virtual characters
while playing games and receive physical kisses from their favorite
virtual characters. Further, Kissenger can be integrated into modern
communication devices to facilitate the interactive communication
between natural and technologically mediated environments
and enhance human tele-presence.
