Chief cook and keepon in the bot´s funk

Over the years, robots have been developed to help humans in their everyday life, from preparing food, to autism therapy [2]. To accomplish their tasks, in addition to their engineered skills, today´s robots are now learning from observing humans, from interacting with them [1]. Therefore, one may expect that one day, robots may develop a form of consciousness, and a desire for freedom. Hopefully, this desire will come with a wish for robots, to become an integral part of our human society. Until we can test this hypothesis, we present a fictional adventure of our robot friends: During an official human-robot interaction challenge, Keepon [2] and Chief Cook (a.k.a. Hoap-3) [1] decided to escape their original duties and joined their forces to drive humans into an entertaining and interactive activity that they often forget to practice: Dancing. Indeed, is there any better way for robots to establish a solid communication channel with humans, so that the traditional master-slave relation may turn into friendship?
