Most robots are not very friendly. They vacuum the rug, mow the lawn, dispose of bombs, even perform surgery?but they aren't good conversationalists. It's difficult to make eye contact. If the future promises more human-robot collaboration in both work and play, wouldn't it be better if the robots were less mechanical and more social? In [How to Grow a Robot?], Mark Lee explores how robots can be more human-like, friendly, and engaging. But, Lee writes, we need robots that are perceptive, animated, and responsive?more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. The way to achieve this, he argues, is to 'grow' a robot so that it learns from experience?just as infants do.
