Robots are here to serve us. From vacuuming our carpets to working in our factories and offices.
Is this our version of modern servitude? Should robots have rights, time off, unions, identity numbers, legal identification?
How do we feel about having multiple robots living with us, in our house, reading stories to our children? And what happens when we become emotionally dependent on them? Or if they hurt someone – who is actually responsible?
