- granzymes 3mo agoWe call things AI until they start working. See also: robots (your washing machine is a robot, but it works so you don’t think of it that way).
- kennywinker 3mo agoI think of robots as general purpose, machines are specific purpose. When it works, we make it single purpose because that’s far far cheaper than general purpose.
- eru 3mo agoAre welding machines at the Volkswagen factory robots?
- AussieWog93 3mo agoAre these the ones with 5+ axis arms? Yes, they're robots
- kennywinker 3mo agoIdk could you swap out an attachment and make them to something completely different?
- Dylan16807 3mo agoCalling things "robots" is more about the amount of movement. Spinning in place like a washing machine sprayer isn't enough to qualify. A paint conveyer belt is not a robot. A sprinkler system is not a robot. A CnC machine might be a robot. A conveyer belt that sorts items might be a robot. A roomba is a robot. And all of these function just fine.
