    The height of human laziness – when you can’t be bothered with leaving the house to meet new people, nor can you be bothered to do your own swiping on Tinder.

    Yes folks it’s the True Love Tinder Robot, built by Nicole He. The graduate student in New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program built it for her final project, the robot working as follows:

    [It] consists of various parts, including a robotic hand hooked up to a bunch of wires and mounted to a box with a speaker. A mat of metal sheets in front of the box senses your body’s reactions. Place your hands on the mat, and it’ll read changes in your galvanic skin response (GSR) over a period of time.

    GSR is basically how your skin reacts when you see or experience something exciting or stimulating, making what’s called an electrodermal response. The sweat glands in your skin will start to change. Essentially, the True Love Tinder Robot measures how sweaty your palms get.

    I wonder if it can tell the difference between whether your palms are covered in sweat or tears. Another video of the robot in action:
