Hand to hand with robots - Va Savoir #03

Series title

Va savoir

Whether we think they intend to annihilate us, replace us in factories or become our slaves (or even our friends!), robots have fuelled our fantasies for centuries... Especially when they look like us. Except that actually we don't come across many of them other than in fiction. So in this episode of #VaSavoir we asked what is ultimately the point of trying to create humanoid robots? And scientifically, what is really hidden behind this seemingly Promethean desire? To gain a better understanding, we went to see the scientists at LAAS-CNRS, in Toulouse, who are among the top robot specialists in France.
