BINA48 is sort of a weird corner case, from what I understand. Nobody is really allowed to interact with it outside tightly controlled circumstances, and it's being programmed and controlled outside of conventional research structures. Sherry Turkle would likely argue that people do better with robots that are on the far side of the Uncanny Valley rather than the near one; MIT's research indicates that the less human you make something, the more we anthropomorphize it.
