      I hope it will make robots friendlier, teach them to understand people better, and provide support where other people cannot.

      It’s only very recently that robots learned how to play games like hide and seek. I think there is a lot more potential in teaching robots play different games with you. Games are engaging, fun, help if you feel lonely, and teach you in ways that schools don’t.

      Robots are often clumsy and don’t give you any more that a phone or a tablet can. I hope to find out that niche that would make robots a welcome addition to every home. If robots can help you, entertain you, and generally be of use rather than being a nuisance – that’s for the best of everyone!

      I also see a lot of people trying to talk to robots, but robots fail to understand emotions and feelings. My tests and studies will hopefully point out in which ways this can be improved.
