What makes a robot a robot? While ongoing debate among scientists and engineers makes a firm answer hard to pin down, most definitions point to a robot having at least five core characteristics: intelligence, sense perception, dexterity, power, and independence. The question to be answered in any of those is, ‘how much?’ The rapid rise […]
