The robotics philosopher John Danaher sets a very high bar for what friendship means. His starting point is the "true" friendship first described by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, which saw an ideal friendship as premised on mutual good will, admiration and shared values. In these terms, friendship is about a partnership of equals.

Cybercriminals Might Attack Industrial Robots. Here's What You Need To Do
The fourth industrial revolution relies on AI and cloud storage to share information and react to real-time data. As a precaution, robots need to do more than just perform tasks. They need to have a way to strengthen their security while doing other tasks in a flexible business environment.
The majority of the robots around us don't pose a threat to human operations. They coexist and work around humans. However, if a cybercriminal hacks one of these robots, that could change drastically.

Alabama researchers working on robots to be used by police
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Researchers at the University of Alabama are working on affordable robots that police could use to communicate with each other or with crime suspects or the public.
WBRC-TV reports that a National Science Foundation grant is funding the work to build robots with audio and video equipment. The robots could go into places where it may be too dangerous for police and relay information back to them.
"We are hoping that our human interactive robots will make a safe environment by distancing civilians and officers from dangerous situations," said professor Nader Jalili, who is head of mechanical engineering in the university's College of Engineering.

This Tokyo cafe is run by robots controlled remotely by disabled workers
Opening in Nihonbashi in June, Dawn Avatar Robot Cafe is looking to create a barrier-free and inclusive Tokyo
Unlike Shinjuku’s Robot Restaurant, where humans dressed as robots put on a dinner show, a new café set to open this summer in Nihonbashi will feature real robot humanoids waiting on customers and serving food and drink. It's not a gimmick, though: Dawn Avatar Robot Café will operate as a barrier-free business by creating more job opportunities for disabled workers.
Robots at reception: South African hotel turns to machines to beat pandemic | Reuters
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Staff at Hotel Sky in Johannesburg's wealthy Sandton district adhere to strict COVID-19 protocols, wearing masks and physically distancing from guests as much as possible; all, that is, except Lexi, Micah and Ariel.

But Hotel Sky, which launched this year, is the first in Africa to use automated attendants, a concept that could cause a stir in a country with one of the world's worst jobless rates.
Unemployment is at 30.8%, according to President Cyril Ramaphosa's state of the nation address last Thursday.
