# Emotionally Open Robots Paperbeatsscissors' 'Droid Feelings' Serves Up Some Android Hilarity By Jason Soy | Published 2011-06-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperbeatsscissors1 References: [paperbeatsscissors.deviantart](http://paperbeatsscissors.deviantart.com/) & [paperbeatsscissors.blogspot](http://paperbeatsscissors.blogspot.com/2011/04/more-feelings.html) In this 'Droid Feelings' collection of emotionally open androids by graphic designer Paperbeatsscissors, robots seem to have feelings too. The first time I ever thought about [robots having feelings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ourobot) was when I listened to [Daft Punk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-lego-helmets)’s ‘Something About Us,' in which a robotic voice confesses his love, but never have I been considerate of little R2D2’s feelings until now. The clever 'Droid Feelings' collection by Paperbeatsscissors features various [Star Wars robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid) professing their woes, and though I shouldn’t laugh at other people’s problems, these things are pretty funny. C-3P0 feels an overwhelming sensation that no one takes him seriously while battle droids can’t help but feel as though they’re too much like everyone else. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Emotionally Open Robots:** The trend of designing emotionally expressive robots opens up opportunities for creating more relatable and engaging human-machine interactions. - **Android Hilarity:** The use of humor in portraying robots' emotions creates a unique and entertaining experience, leading to potential applications in entertainment and marketing. - **Robotic Identity:** Exploring the concept of robotic identity and emotions can pave the way for advances in artificial intelligence and human-robot collaboration. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** The emotionally open robot trend can be leveraged in the entertainment industry to develop captivating characters and narratives that resonate with audiences. - **Marketing:** Businesses can utilize emotionally expressive robots in marketing campaigns to create memorable and engaging experiences that connect with consumers on an emotional level. - **Artificial Intelligence:** The idea of robots having emotions can drive innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, enabling the development of more human-like and empathetic AI technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expressive Lip-Syncing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emo-robot-1.md) - [Film-Inspired AI-Powered Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doly.md) - [Engaging Musical Humanoid Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-robot-concept.md) - [AI Emotional Interface Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feelbot.md) - [Empathetic Interactive Game Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forhpeus.md) - [Emotional Lifelike Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovot.md) - [Emotion Recognition Robot Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kakaloom.md) - [Emotion-Driven AI Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memoreel.md) - [Festive Humanoid Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmnd-01.md)
