- rozab 5y agoA professor of robotics once told me that these things are not robots because they do work within an internal, controlled environment. A robot instead operates in or interacts with an external, uncontrolled environment. I don't think this thing would count as a robot in any sense unless there's some sophisticated sensory processing going on.
