You hope your robot will come to see itself as its own thing, rather than trying to be something that it is not. (+Autonomy) The simplicity and familiarity of the design should be reassuring to people. (+Empathy)
"Dr. Ziegler, what makes you think the Singularity will happen now?"
"Well, for one thing, I'm around. But seriously. My lab is taking a unique approach because we're saying: why not teach a robot like a child? We're going to equip the robot with the best sensors money can buy and teach it English. Then it could rapidly teach itself using the Internet."
Well, that's annoying. Your advisor thought that a robot child was a stupid idea until you told him Turing proposed it back in 1950, minus the Internet part. But he isn't giving credit to either of you! You keep working, regardless.
How will your robot get around?
1) It will walk upright on two legs.
2) It will crawl on eight legs.
3) It will roll on wheels.
4) It will fly like a helicopter.
5) It will roll on tank treads.
6) It will walk upright but will also have delicate wings it can use for balance.
