When are we going to learn to trust robots?
-
Like all little boys, Roboy likes to show off. He can say a few words. He can shake hands and wave. He is learning to ride a tricycle. And - every parent's pride and joy - he has a functioning musculoskeletal anatomy.... As manufacturers get ready to market robots for the home it has become essential for them to overcome the public's suspicion of them. But designing a robot that is fun to be with - as well as useful and safe - is quite difficult.
I prefer the term "Artificial Person" myself.

I'm certainly not against the idea....but I've got my policy from Old Glory Insurance, just in case anything goes wrong. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/old-glory-insurance/n10766/[^]
