The Problem:
The science fiction writers are predicting that there will be a robot in every house ... cleaning, cooking, and taking care of basic needs so humans will have more time to learn, build and play.  To make this a reality, scientists are studying ways of improving the communication and relationship between humans and robots.  Developing natural, social and emotional man-machine interfaces is sometimes called 'affective computing.'

The Mission:
Your mission is to design, program and build a robot that can talk and interact with a human in soulful ways.
This is a complex project.  You must develop strong Scratch programming skills.
You must build a structure for your robot and a series of motion modules to make eyes, mouth and arms move in human friendly ways.
