Savioke obviously thinks we are all into kissing and taking selfies with robots that mostly look like garbage bins on weels.
Robotic kiss
And then there’s the Turing test for kissing.

Tickle robots
In the past years Driessens & Verstappen have developed three devices for automated skin caress: Spear is a first attempt to reproduce the unpredictable movements of a blade of grass when it is blowing in the wind and gently touches your skin. Tickle is a small autonomous robot with a pair of nubbed rubber caterpillar tracks. Tickle Salon is a robotic installation that uses a suspended probe to carry out sensitive movements over the surface of the skin.
