"Weak" robots

Photo taken May 18, 2018, shows a robot handing a chocolate to a student in a clumsy manner in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, central Japan. The Toyohashi University of Technology has developed what its research team calls "weak robots," which have been made vulnerable-looking to encourage humans to want to care for them. Weak robots place an emphasis on human-to-human communication and social interaction instead of pursuing functional perfection. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
