![]() Henry is a companion robot; it works diligently to arrange appointments and perform other tasks for its master.
I'm fascinated by the idea of robots that are able to communicate perfectly well in spoken English, but choose a private means of communication when talking with each other. It's as if they use a different language "below stairs" - out of the hearing of their masters.
Compare to Robot-Control Wave Band from Rex (1934) by Harl Vincent, mentanical communication from The Mentanicals (1934) by Francis Flagg and Autonomous Car Intercommunication from Sally (1953) by Isaac Asimov. Comment/Join this discussion ( 1 ) | RSS/XML | Blog This | Additional
