How to develop robots that will be more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed.

Most robots are not very friendly. They vacuum the rug, mow the lawn, dispose of bombs, even perform surgery�but they aren't good conversationalists. It's difficult to make eye contact. If the future promises more human-robot collaboration in both work and play, wouldn't it be better if the robots were less mechanical and more social? In How to Grow a Robot, Mark Lee explores how robots can be more human-like, friendly, and engaging.
