Robolove prepares viewers and the world for an inevitable future – where realistic robots will exist commonplace alongside humans, performing and participating in day-to-day activities as trophy lovers, educational representatives, and android counterparts.


Depending on one’s fascination or distaste for real, contemporary androids, Robolove is either a thrilling brain-teaser or a haunting, dystopian vision. Featuring Japanese robotics guru Hiroshi Ishigugo, transhumanist Natasha Vita More, an international cast of androids, and many others, Robolove travels the world in its exploration of ideas around ethics, the nature of existence and consciousness, and the ever-expanding realm of possibility emerging from robotic science.
