Hi,
This is one of those YASIDs that probably has more than one answer...
A vague memory of something read in the last fifty-odd went past, about
a robot/cyborg/mecha/whatever holding a doll's head and trying to
process just exactly what it is, and why.
Let the games begin!
Cheers,

That sounds sorta like John Scalzi's "Three Robots Experience Objects Left Behind from the Era of Humans for the First Time", which was adapted as "Three Robots" for the Netflix series "Love, Death and Robots".

That won't be it though: far too recent.

Maybe the cover of an issue of _Creative Computing_?

Ah, yes. The January 1980 issue.

A human, not a doll, is being held by the robot, but the human is so small compared
to the robot, he seems like a doll.
