So, robots in movies are always depicted as being nimble on their feet and dextrous -- like the new trailer for M3GAN where the robot wanders around a house and dances and gently strokes a child's cheek
In reality even the best household robot we can build would trip over literally anything or accidentally shatter your ribcage while trying to open a box of cereal
My little rant on this: https://medium.com/@clivethompson/the-hilariously-bumbling-reality-of-humanoid-robots-31af6f02ef42
@clive In Asimov's "I, Robot", there's a chapter where a brand new talking AI (taking a whole room of computer space) is being showcased in a world where nimble and dextrous (but mute) robots are everywhere.
When I read it a few years ago I found Asimov's backwards prediction funny and quaint... But 70 years later, the misperception persists!
@dtpolet
I remember that, yeah!
Everyone figured that the walking part would be easier than the talking part
