ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Social robot

A social robot is like a toy robot that we can talk to and play with, but it is much more intelligent and can do many things. Just like how friends talk to each other, we can talk to social robots and they can understand what we say to them. They can also respond to us and help us in many ways, just like how friends help us.

Social robots have been designed to look like humans or animals, which makes them more approachable and friendly. They can also move like us and perform various actions.

We can use social robots to help us with our work, tell us stories, play games with us, or even just keep us company. Some social robots are even being used in hospitals and schools to help people who need extra support or assistance.

In summary, think of a social robot as a cool toy that is also a helpful friend to have around.
