Robotics are everywhere, we each own more than a dozen robotics. As a kid I use to want a robot so bad to clean my room and all other choirs assigned at home. I use to think a robot is like the movie 'Bicentennial Man"played by Robbin Williams where they they have to be made of medal and look like humans. Now I know better I had a robot all along, it was called a "Washing Machine".
Today robotics are used everywhere and they can be artistic as well like discussed in the book. David Rokeby has done many artistic work that gets viewers thinking. For example in 1990 Rokeby created an art project piece that could name body parts it was called the "THE GIVER OF NAMES" a peice The Giver of Names is in the collection of the Agnes Etherington Arts Centre, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada. This was both interactive and really interesting.
