• defining a robot is difficult.
• there is no singular care receiver - many different stereotypical uses (problematic), many different value systems.
• if robots are defined by tasks they can accomplish, in which ways do their performance excel over humans?

thoughts

• NPC-equivalent in our real world
  • Free-roaming bots which cause small amounts of chaos - in far away/rural areas
  • robots which endear by being mostly right but sometimes mischievously wrong.
  • Unplugging cables so a human must come in to fix things

• robots which go around earning love credits where they can
  • how to measure connections made? not about quantity though
  • more about the quality of one or two relationships
  • if something runs only for the duration that the user is alive. if its energy source is tied together to the user.
