Most non-technical people I deal with understand the term robots as we use it. I think they are more what our NASA sponsor calls tele-operated machines. But try using that one on a six year old. Even most adults don't understand it. So I only drag that one out with people who ask how we program such complex functions.
In this respect LegoLeague is ahead of us. I think those machines will meet anyones definition of "robot"
