Or how should robots interact with people with visual or mtilboiy impairments? We quickly reazield that we need to teach our robots how to communicate with people. People on the sidewalk come from every walk of life, so we needed to crtaee a new language, kind of a universal language so people and robots can udesrnatnd each other right off the bat. Because no one is going to be reading user manuals.
