FrickCharacter-first. That's not a person, a dog, a cat. You're not going to have misplaced expectations about the way that it interacts. Because it's a character, creating, this opportunity for people to create a bond with the machine through this character - Jeff Frick
I was taken by the focus on thinking through the interaction, when you take this thing out of the factory floor, behind a safety gate and actually put it in your home. Thinking about the human factors of that engagement. - Jeff Frick
Both the pace of humanoid robot development, and my opportunities to interact and engage with the machines, and very human minds behind them, have been accelerating like everything else.
What is fun to watch is the variety of approaches.
Always get's back to 'What are you optimizing for'

When you start with relationship, initiated with an animated video, before the patient even meets the Mirokaï in real life, the connection may surprise you. And they're using it for good with children's cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
