Collaborating
Leonardo can work together with a human to solve a common problem as much as his body allows. He’s more effective at working shoulder-to-shoulder with a human because of the theory of mind work that is blended with his programming. In a task where one human wants cookies and another crackers from two locked locations and one of them has switched the locations, Leonardo can watch the first human trying to get to where he thinks the cookies are and open a box with cookies, helping him achieve his goal. All of Leonardo’s social skills work together so it can work alongside humans. When a human asks it to do a task, it can indicate what it knows or doesn’t know and what it can and cannot do. Communicating through expression and gesture and through perceiving expression, gesture, and speech, the robot is able to work as part of a team.
