While the above MiniSpot robot is a bit scary - I wonder further how we can develop similar for peace-making, nonharmng (ahimsa) and care-generating purposes, - and explore too all the issues of avatar agency in a realistic virtual earth (re machine learning and artificial intelligence), for example, before we let these robots go free with their machine learning and as physical entities.
