Title The good and the bad about the robot baby project
Abstract here was much fuss about the Robot Baby Project in the Dutch media and via TechCrunch the news went international as well. http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/31/robots-date-mate-and-procreate-3d-printed-offspring-in-robot-baby-project/ The Robot Baby Movie gained 30 thousand views on the VU/Science youtube channel in just a week and a half, which is probably an all time high. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfcVSb-Q8ns In this talk I will reflect on the project, discussing the scientific, technical, as well as promotional aspects - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
