“We want to investigate how people react when they first encounter Mo, as we lovingly like to call the robot,” said Prof Warwick. “Through one of Mo's eyes, he can watch people's responses to him following them around.
“It appears this is not deemed acceptable for under 18-year-olds without prior consent from their legal guardian. This presents us with a big problem as we cannot demonstrate Mo in action either to visitors or potential students.”
Maybe, Professor Warwick, you shouldn’t have made Mo look like an evil disembodied demonic skull.
This other line pretty much tells it for me:
Apparentally, they're going to teach the robots that people are afraid of them. And is it just me, or does that head bear more than a passing resemblance to Terminator-Ahnold, once he's been stripped of flesh?
