Robotics and Humanity In the movie I‚ Robot‚ the definition of humanity is a major theme. More specifically‚ whether or not robots (particularly Sonny) can be considered human is a large focus of the film.

experiment of the “Homunculi-headed robots”. In this scenario‚ a few small human beings are stationed within the head of a robot. Each creature is assigned a task‚ to enter a specific output when shown a corresponding input. This is somewhat reminiscent of Daniel Dennett’s critique of Cartesian Dualism‚ the “Cartesian Theater”. The most obvious difference being 1 homunculus sitting in the Cartesian Theatre‚ as opposed to several homunculi sitting within the head of the robot. Another crucial difference being
