A number of start-ups are working on robots that look familiar and help humans, without making them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Thanks to generative AI, robots depend less on pre-written scripts. But "don't worry, robots like us are designed to help humans make their lives better," robot Moxie told AFP. As tall as a teddy bear and doped with generative AI, Moxie is capable of interacting with children, telling them stories, giving math lessons and performing dance moves with two arms. At CES, Adam, a robot barista from Richtech Robotics, serves coffee to delighted attendees and can now make jokes, thanks to generative AI.
