Cody, a robot in Charlie Kemp's Healthcare Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech, was used in a study testing how subjects responded to being touched by a robot in a healthcare setting. In this initial test, researchers found that the subjects' perception of Cody's intent made a significant difference in how they responded.
