Realistic Robotics
How much like a human does a robot need to be in order for us to ignore non-human qualities? We are perfectly happy seeing movies at 24FPS and accepting the illusion of realistic movement so wouldn't a robot simply need to approximate certain humanistic signs before becoming anthropomorphized to an acceptible level. Like those machines that pull the shopping baskets at target would we be happy if our robot just went where we wanted via remote control. Maybe what we want is a robot that is easily manipulated to carry our groceries, download and play movies on demand, play satallite radio, give directions, give definitions, call people, email and have a flashlight.
