    If one was programmed to kill Trump and they got it close enough to launch an attack, there would be nothing the secret service could do to stop it……

    You could place a series of shin height obstacles in front of it and casually stroll off as it pisses about getting lined up to step over them. You’d be in the next county by the time it’s cleared four.

    Spot’s dancing is impressive, but it’ll never match the grace and elegance of a skilled human performer:

    Ive seen that guy dancing in the flesh in Falmouth

    He was raking in, by my rough estimate, about £80 an hour.

    “Actually I was kind of thinking the opposite…. Why have they based it on the human form ?”

    Mostly because so much existing infrastructure is based on that form. A human shaped warehousing robot doesn’t make sense if you’re building a new robot warehouse but it’s great if you’ve already got human warehouses all over the place, frinstance. A robot that slots right in place of a human is really useful
