In scenarios like In many applications, robots were viewed as a machine. This has this, industrial robots (which are traditionally instances of the resulted in interaction and actuation which is characteristic for robot=machine view on robotics) are successful. However, as machines. When constructing adaptive LEGO robots, we take mentioned above, the success is fulfilled when we have full another view, namely that the robot should resemble a human (or control over the environment. Unfortunately, this is often not the a biological creature) rather than a machine. This has implication case. A simple, but nevertheless very illustrative, example is on the interaction, the actuation and the control of the robot. Chaplin’s character sketch of a machine-like worker at an Here, I will describe how the robot-as-human approach is in- assembly line, who cannot keep up his p
