Learning to live with robots - BBC News

I spent a couple of days this week in the company of robots. They seemed friendly, they were keen to make conversation, and they could do a few quite clever things. But I came away from the Innorobo exhibition in Paris with few fears about the prospect of an imminent robot takeover. Perhaps that is because, as we discuss in today's edition of Tech Tent, the robotics industry is now anxious to improve the image of its products. All the talk in Paris was of cobots, or collaborative robots.
