“Just Last Night”: Moore On Her Robot Refusing To ‘Behave’ Hours Before NDTV World Summit 2025 #NDTV

Talking about the blend of two worlds, Dr Moore confessed that she always “tries to do one” and has been trying to “retire from ballet” for the past few years.

“I cannot retire; it is my oxygen. I found that when I stopped dancing, my grades would go down. I realised that as humans, it should be possible to hope and dream and to actively explore the technology and the artistic side of our brain,” said Dr Moore.

When asked if there are days when the robot doesn’t want to listen to her, Moore recalled last night’s incident and added, “It is now behaving. It had stage fright.”

Further talking about her inspiration, Moore said, “After my PhD, I was dancing, but the pandemic hit, and I couldn’t dance with humans. Dance is a form of communication, and we need other humans to express ourselves, and because I didn’t have that in isolation, I thought, well, robots don’t get COVID. Maybe I will start programming a robot. And from 7am to midnight, I would stay in a deserted feeder all day long, just programming the robot, and it became this bizarre companion… It hung out with me more than any human.”
