    Tech companies are making their robots cute to try to win over humans

    Whether they’re delivering food or folding your laundry, consumer-facing robots are increasingly being designed to be more palatable to the humans who interact with them.

      @jonsnow As a researcher: giving a robot a face prevents you from taking a hammer to them during the development process and reminds you that it's not their fault they're being obstructive and broken.

      The robots wouldn't need cute faces if they were doing work that people actually wanted them to do, and doing it well.

      Example: https://labradorsystems.com
