Any good technology needs a lot of troubleshooting before it's ready for the market. In the case of the robots we're discussing, that's where Greg Powell and Mike Donovan enter the picture. In this episode, we discuss this unlikely pair and the robots that they have to deal with. From Speedy to Cutie to Dave, we look at what makes them tick, how and why they break down, and the ways in which Asimov's robots speak to the human condition. We also take a good look at the three laws of robotics and discuss whether or not they are actually realistic.
