A robot that can act on a person’s intentions would be capable of intelligent-like behavior in their relationship with a human. In a sense, this is the ultimate model from nature for robots—a human.
The idea is to model human-human interactions in order to allow a robot to become more capable of developing a personal relationship with its human partner. For many applications of consumer robotics, it will be necessary for the robot to be more than just a programmed machine.
