Here is David Hanson’s TED talk on robots that show emotions and that have empathy.

This video surfaced relatively recently but is perhaps the longest unbroken footage of the android from 2005. There are Spanish subtitles, but the conversation is all in English – as that is the only language that ‘Phil’ the android understood or spoke in.

A book about the PKD Robot, Lost In Transit: The Strange Story of the Philip K Dick Android by David F Dufty is now available in Australia and New Zealand. We understand that the book will be available in America early next Year.
