Point of view

Kids, because they are little, 'look up' to adults, both physically, and mentally. That perspective imparts a sense of inequality - which is a good thing, because the grownups do have a better grasp on the real world (and dangers.)

I notice this robot was built to look down on people sitting, and to be even with people standing (which isn't the elderly, so much.)

Nothing says "care" quite like first putting your customers in their place....

Along the line of "points of view", notice the position of the camera that took the picture. We, the audience, are lower than all.

Advertising. Ugh.

Do you think the machine's slogan is going to be "Your plastic pal that's fun to be with" ? ;-)
