Weak robots

Abstract

Considering that advanced autonomous robots and autonomous driving systems also have numerous weaknesses and imperfections, why not expose such weaknesses moderately instead of hiding them? In this article, we will discuss how humans and robots may coexist in the future, introducing the concept of “weak robots,” such as Sociable Trash Box that cannot pick up trash by themselves, but do so with the help of children, and conversational robots that sometimes forget important words when telling children old stories.
