"I'm a jaded roboticist, but I can't help but smile back at a robot that spontaneously smiles at me."
From Science Daily

Roboticists, however, have struggled to design robots with enough dexterity, sensitivity and adaptability to move around freely, said Ken Goldberg, a roboticist at the University of California, Berkeley.
