Social robotics

Robots are learning to become more human. But what are the goals and boundaries of such progress?

Meet Erica and Borka. 

Erica - 29 years old - lives not far from Budapest. At the age of 2, a road accident left her confined to a wheelchair. 

Borka is a guide dog, trained to help disabled people.

Both of them are participating in a European Union research project, which aims to use their companionship as a model for interaction between humans and the robotic assistants of the future.
