Before the robot moves, when the humans are first on the stage with it, they are inspecting it. It is unintelligible to the humans.
When it begins to move, its movements are in practice a language of signs.
The humans' self-identity is ultimately changed and determined by what the robot does with them; what it appears to "think" of them, as expressed through the parole of its actions. Actions imply a set of assumptions about the world and the other individuals with which we interact, so from the robot's actions, we can infer an intelligence; a mind, a langue, and a parole.
As the robot's "speech" becomes more powerful, the humans eventually express a less-powerful self-image in their actions directed at the robot. Their actions are circumscribed and dictated by the actions of the robot.
Since the robot is the only element of the humans' world, it is in relation to it that they must define themselves and gain their identity.
