  journal = {Nature Reviews Bioengineering },
  abstract = {Barriers to the widespread adoption of robots often stem less from limitations in technical capability than from the social, cultural and interpretive contexts in which these systems are encountered. We therefore argue that aesthetics should be treated as a core design dimension, alongside functionality and safety, to support meaningful and situated human–robot interactions.},
