IBM PhD Fellowships are hard to come by, as UTS PhD student Rony Novianto will attest. Rony is the sole Australian recipient of a 2011 award, thanks to his groundbreaking work on cognitive software architecture. The intensely competitive worldwide fellowship program honours exceptional PhD students working on solving problems that are important to IBM and fundamental to innovation in many academic disciplines and areas of study.

I always wanted to create robots to transform human lives, making our lives better and easier. After I graduated with a Bachelors and Masters of Engineering in Robotics, I could have gone directly into the industry to work and create robots. However, current technology does not have the full capability to develop robots that can truly transform human lives.

To try to develop emotions in a robot, Rony Novianto programmed Smokey with a set of innate characteristics similar to personality traits that are imprinted in a human's DNA. These allow Smokey to develop emotionally responses to objects. Smokey had become interested in red objects, so when he saw one he became excited and focused his attention on it. Using innate characteristics Smokey can develop behaviours over time as he interacts with people and objects, creating a unique personality according to his own experiences.
