Abstract
ROBOTS ARE FAST becoming a part of everyday life. Indeed, robots are now deployed in retail stores (see Figure 1), warehouses, hospitals, factories, and so on to perform tasks conventionally done by humans. Nestlé uses a humanoid robot “Pepper” to sell coffee makers in department stores in Japan; people buy ice cream from a fully automated ice cream franchise, RoboFusion; Cobalt’s KnightScope security robots patrol streets in New York City. Such encounters will only increase as the global market for service.
