It's fascinating how we anthropomorphize objects like this. My Roomba got stuck on some cables underneath my TV table and when I found it, it was making a sad sound that just broke my heart. As I picked it up, I found myself saying, "There, there little Roomba, I'll rescue you and get you some juice. Poor thing."

I love robots and find many of them cute! And I don't mind at all them making them cute!

Always when one of those food carrier bots of ours around here gets close by, I pet them while they pass me ๐Ÿ’“ They just are tooo cute!

I guess it's a side effect of the instinct to take care of our children.
