what about when they try to take over the world?
While it’s movements are fluid and it seems to be quite relateable, I don’t want my personal robot to have “emotions”.
I want it to wash the dishes then put them away and do the laundry. I want it to mow the lawn and whipper snip. I want it to vacuum with the proper vacuum cleaner not those useless roombas and sweep the back patio. Then I want it to bring me drinks and cook my dinner.
In essence, I want a servant/slave/robot Friday. Not a slightly creepy pseudochild.
This is supposed to be the 21st century. Where’s my proper robot and my hovercar?

I wonder If the robots will have all 72 human emotions?
and 368 human facial expressions?

I want it to have powerful lasers for eyes
Wasn’t there a robot that had eyes like that?

I can run faster than any humanoid robot, so they couldn’t catch me.
