Human Relationships with Intelligent Machines
May 15th, 2007
From washingtonpost.com:
A fascinating article on how humans build relationships with the robots they use in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are currently thousands of various kinds of robots used by the military. Just as humans have grown attached to their cars, ships, and planes, the same is true for robots.
Its an interesting phenomenon and makes you wonder whether designers should design in features to make robots with personality. I doubt smart cameras inspire this kind of attachment, but why not?
