It seems robotics suffer from the same problem as AI: every-time it advances and come into contact with the public, it becomes something else. I explain: we already have an incredible successful robot. It’s the roomba (and it’s imitators). It’s a robot, but suddenly it’s not the robot we’ve all been waiting for. Just as Siri and Alexa and Google Assistant suddenly are not widely seen as AÍ because, even when they can talk, recognize your speak, search for content and do some tasks, they are not the artificial intelligence we have been waiting for. It seems we’ll always raise the bar, no matter what. 200 years from now, taking, walking, autonomous smiling android: not a robot.
