RoboPsychology: What's the Point of Robots, Anyway?

We're glad you asked.

Robots are like the hipster cafes of the tech world – we're not really sure why they exist, but they're here now and they're making everyone's lives slightly more complicated.

But seriously, robots are here to make your life easier, or so they claim. They're like the ultimate multi-tasking, multi-talented friends that never get tired, never complain, and never judge your outfit.

Or are they just a bunch of overhyped, overpriced, overcomplicating machines that we're too afraid to turn off?

Either way, we've got the answers to your burning questions:

• Why do robots need to be programmed to make jokes?
• Can robots really replace the joy of mumbling and stumbling and tripping over your own feet?
