Wonder Stories Science Fiction Covers

I cannot seem to get enough of these great science fiction covers.  Golden Age Comic Book Stories posted a series of Wonder Stories covers from 1930 through 1936.  I chose this 1931 cover because, while not in the best condition, it repeats a theme regarding robots that I have seen before, which raises a question.  If the frightening thing about robots is that they are cold, logical and without any humanity or emotion, why are they often depicted carrying off the babe?
