Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.

The benefits of having robots could vastly outweigh the problems.

My dear Miss Glory, Robots are not people. They are mechanically more perfect than we are, they have an astounding intellectual capacity, but they have no soul.

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

People are fascinated by robots because they're machines that can mimic life.

There are an endless number of things to discover about robotics. A lot of it is just too fantastic for people to believe.

We're fascinated with robots because they are reflections of ourselves.

The most important thing for building a robot that you can interact with socially is its visual attention system. Because what it pays attention to is what it's seeing and interacting with, and what you're understanding what it's doing.

Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes.

Robots will someday, or maybe, wake up. They may be really smart. They may be as creative, smart and capable as human beings, and fully conscious, and self discerning with free will.
