ROBO SAPIENS, a mockumentary, follows robot anthropologists seeking “species status” for delivery robots. It highlights our adjustment to these machines and questions the implications of emotionally negotiating with them. The film captures the absurdity of our era, where robots replace jobs and we anthropomorphize them. The filmmakers immersed themselves in the project, documenting robot behavior and human reactions. By treating the robots seriously, the film satirizes academic posturing and the human need for relevance. It questions whether technology truly improves life or if it renders humans interchangeable.
