Kismet is a robot made in the late 1990s at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology with auditory, visual and expressive systems intended
to participate in human social interaction and to demonstrate simulated human
emotion and appearance. The name Kismet comes from the Arabic , Turkish , Urdu
Hindi and Punjabi word meaning "fate" or sometimes "luck".

•Kismet simulates emotion through various facial
expressions, vocalizations, and movement. Facial expressions are created
through movements of the ears, eyebrows, eyelids, lips, jaw, and head.
§Four color CCD cameras mounted on a stereo active vision
head and two wide field of view cameras allow Kismet to decide what to pay
attention to and to estimate distances.
§ Maxon DC servo motors with high resolution optical encoders are
positioned to give Kismet three degrees of eye movement, which allow it to
control gaze direction and gives Kismet the ability to move and orient its eyes
like a human. This allows Kismet to simulate human visual behaviors
