Industrial robot arms have feelings too…

So, as you can see from this General Motors advertisement maybe robots don’t need to be humanoid or to have faces in order to convey their feelings in such a way that they can be understood. (Although the music obviously helps in this video!)

I find this idea fascinating. I suppose it appeals to me because I am working to support the idea that robots could be of many varied forms, and yet still be able to take part in sophisticated human-robot interactions.
