“Sociality is constructed through interactions people have with each other around the machine. It’s not just about programming a better character for the robot, making it respond better to human social features, making it look cuter or behaving more naturally.” - @whatsmalteupto

[Cornell Bowers Computing and Information Science @Cornell_Bowers]

People, not design features, make a robot social, an award-winning study from @CornellInfoSci found.

“We have to look at the broader scope of the communities around robots and people’s interactions with each other,” said @whatsmalteupto. https://t.co/ZhlsUbbHIj
