During the time I've worked in robotics, I've observed that people (myself included) usually enjoy turning off a robot's brain and joysticking it more than watching it move autonomously. Maybe once the autonomous actions are more sophisticated it will be less frustrating to watch robots getting trapped by chairs and the remains of desert fences.
