Nicole He is a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Programme and the inventor of The True Love Tinder Robot.
He says he came up with the idea in his sleep and woke up briefly to jot it down on his phone. The robot works very simply.
Nicole writes on his website:
“With Tinder open, you put your phone down in front of the robot hand. Then you place your own human hands on the sensors. As you are looking at each Tinder profile, the robot will read your true heart's desire through the sensors and decide whether or not you are a good match with that person based on how your body reacts.
“If it determines that you're attracted to that person, it will swipe right. If not, it will swipe left. Throughout the process, it will make commentary on your involuntary decisions”.
The robot reads the change in your galvanic skin response over a period of time. Basically, how sweaty your palms get.
Nicole continues that he believes the project tests the idea that the computer knows the user better than they know themselves.
Is this the next step for dating in the digital to the age? We’re hoping the robot cupids stop there.
