Re: Are they really robots?

We had a robot in '04 that, while holding it's own controls, rose up out of a floor on a lift, turned and found the drive team, then drove to the humans to deliver its' controls.
This was for an SBPLI fundraiser dinner while the diners watched with Also Sprach Zarathustra playing.

... then it nearly ran over a small table someone had placed in the way holding the boombox playing the 2001 Space Odyssey theme...

If it's klutsy is it still a robot?
