Robots have been something that have been used in our society as early as the Chinese civilizations printing press. Although its not the image of a robot that we have in our head its one of its earliest forms. In Chinese civilization the printing press made life so much easier and it improved the speed and quality. In our present day society we envision robots more as something that can help us in our every day lives and can take and interpret instruction. A perfect example of this is in the movie Big Hero 6. Baymax, the robot that was originally designed by its creator as a health care robot started to learn and develop feelings throughout the entire movie. This robot is an example of what is currently the biggest obstacle in robotics, developing feelings and appropriate emotions. In a 2009 TedTalk this topic was discussed, they had come up with a software that was able to identify the emotion that someone was expressing and the robot was able to reciprocate the same emotion. As art and robotics continue to become more intertwined they will continue to develop this software to eventually be able to reciprocate the proper emotion.
