The ‘Born or Built? — Our Robotic Future’ (‘BOB?’) exhibition examines relationships between humans, robots and artificial intelligence. It encourages visitors to explore ethical and social issues surrounding these new technologies and invites visitors to post their own questions. We examine visitor responses to the exhibit “A of the Day”, which encourages visitors to engage by writing down their own question prompted by their experience in ‘BOB?’. As responses were submitted, it became apparent that the questions posed by visitors were potentially a valuable contribution to future science communication policy about robotics, and to those designing and implementing these technologies. We performed a content analysis that distilled themes in visitors' open-ended questioning that conveyed visitor knowledge and insight into what science communication about robotic technologies needs to address. Taken this way, visitors' questions form a moment of dialogue between the public and science communicators, engineers and researchers in which visitors contribute their knowledge and ideas about robotics. Such moments of dialogue are potentially valuable if the public is to be included in the development of robotics technology to build trust in robotics technology.

“出生还是建造？” 探索参观者对机器人技术的理解

'出生还是建造？— 我们的机器人未来”（“BOB？”）展览探讨了人类、机器人和人工智能之间的关系。它鼓励参观者探索围绕这些新技术的伦理和社会问题，并邀请参观者发表他们自己的问题。我们检查参观者对展览“每日一事”的反应，该展览鼓励参观者通过写下他们在“BOB？”中的经历引发的问题来参与。随着回复的提交，很明显，访客提出的问题可能对未来关于机器人技术的科学传播政策以及设计和实施这些技术的人做出有价值的贡献。我们进行了内容分析，提取了访问者的主题 开放式提问向参观者传达了有关机器人技术的科学传播需要解决的知识和见解。通过这种方式，参观者的问题形成了公众与科学传播者、工程师和研究人员之间的对话时刻，参观者在其中贡献了他们对机器人技术的知识和想法。如果要让公众参与机器人技术的发展以建立对机器人技术的信任，这样的对话时刻具有潜在的价值。
