Re: Humanoid robots
A long time ago, when I was working in IT, opinions were, quite often, put forward that human beings really are Robots, aka Computers.I considered writing a book about it, around 1970.
A human has a brain (processor), memory (Ram or SSSD), Power sources (heart & Lungs), communication (voice & hearing) Vision, etcetera.
In the end, I moved away from a book because it seemed clear, to all, that Computers were constructed from Human Plans!
Humans have had all of that technology for a very long time.
With the addition of "Emotions" which, I think is the only major difference.
Interesting that you can get from being a speck of dust, out there in space, to being a hearing, feeling, loving human.
There is more to come....!

Re: Humanoid robots
I truly hope these do not break Asimov's Laws of Robotics:First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Zeroth Law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
