From Terminator to WALL·E: Why Robots Have An Image Problem

LiveScience posted a nice article by Christy Dena on the image of robots in our society. In my opinion it only scratches on the surface of this topic, but it is a good read nonetheless. How could it not be? It features the word “human-robot interaction researchers”.

I particularly liked how she wrote about the difference between children and adults when it comes to robots. The findings certainly reminded me of Isaac Asimov’s short story Robbie.
