Ha! I thought zir looked a bit like Greta too, only a nice, pleasant Greta. Also, zir gently touched the person's arm, zir didn't grab it or appear to freak out as the article suggests. What little I saw of the robot made me think, Aww, how sweet and pleasant. It would be nice to have help like that if it didn't have the ability to think for itself, spy on you or become aggressive. It would almost be like a pet. One that does things like, bring you your slippers and pipe.
