He couldn’t cross the road, out of safety concerns.

Thanks Sudha! Actually these stories are very much unfolding around us, isnt it?

Great! There seems to be story behind the disguise.
canvaswithrainbow · October 26, 2017 at 4:49 pm
Ya, you are right Reena, I am already thinking of the plot to take the story further. Thanks for visiting.

Nice reveal at the end. no wonder the poor robot doesn't know what to make of the ad human world!

I am so sure, inspite of being wordly wise, the Robots never will be able to decipher the weird folks… that is us!

Most cool! Developing AI for robots would go something like this I think. Eventually the robot would go off alone and the creator would have to wonder and worry just like a parent. Cool story!

Thanks for praises! Glad you liked it.

I get that "Asimo" references "Isaac Asimov" who originally crafted the famous "Three Laws of Robotics" and was a prolific science fiction and mystery writer, but what about "Divya?
canvaswithrainbow · October 26, 2017 at 4:53 pm
Divya is my creation! She lives only in this tale! Diya actually means visionary, sublime and divine!

LOL! That was a surprise twist at the end! Haha! He's a robot! Great story!
