And as a little girl, I loved the idea of a robot that interacted with us much more like a helpful, trusted sidekick something that would delight us, enrich our lives and help us save a galaxy or two.

And so whether they're helping us to become creative and innovative, or whether they're helping us to feel more deeply connected despite distance, or whether they are our trusted sidekick who's helping us attain our personal goals in becoming our highest and best selves, for me, robots are all about people.
