Wednesday films: NOVA ScienceNow on humanoid robots

I was thinking about robots this morning, but I couldn’t choose just one video to share.  So, below are two videos from NOVA ScienceNow: a documentary from last year about the future of humanoid robots, and a program segment that profiles Cynthia Breazeal — founder of JIBO — and her work to develop friendly robots at MIT.  Careful clicking away the overlay ads on the first video (ugh! sorry) and the second video should start at the 28:13 mark; you might need to sit through a few seconds of another segment before the player gets there.
