Actually, it tells you more about how we’re wired than anything about robots.

The results suggest that we are comforted by a human-like touch, even when it isn’t a human doing it. If you tried a test of human / non-human and touching / non-touching, it would be interesting to see if the touching robot came out ahead of the robotic human.

A robot’s touch...
“I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

I like when the dog lays his head on my hand.

If that freaky robot dog comes anywhere near me, it won’t leave in one piece.

Another bunch of deluded people who think that humans can create an artificial intelligence that is equivalent to human intelligence.
What they are really aiming for (and won't get) is something better than human intelligence.
