Ever seen a robot learn to talk like a baby? Now it’s teaching the hearing-impaired to speak clearly!
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s real, and it’s powerful.
🤖 A team led by Sawada has created a talking and singing robot that mimics human speech using motor-controlled vocal cords, vocal tract, and nasal cavity—just like us!
👶 Just like babies, the robot listens, practices, and improves its voice using *auditory feedback*. That means it can learn speech over time by hearing itself and correcting mistakes.
❤️🩹 The real magic? This robot is now being used to help people with hearing loss learn to speak more clearly. It listens to their voice, copies it, and shows them *exactly* how to improve by demonstrating proper mouth and throat movement.
✨ With visual tools like SOM (Self-Organizing Map), it even shows how close their voice is to the correct one—making learning fun and effective!
This is the future of *assistive tech*—smart, kind, and life-changing.
