RE: How robots could run and walk like animals and humans
YES!
Here are a few of the reasons, I want a robot taking care of me,
in the nursing home for the elderly:
1. Robotic nurses aids will most likely be SOBER; have the time, patients, and the expertise to DO IT RIGHT.
2. A robotic nurses aid will probably not decide to steal my laptop, off my lap, as I sleep.
3. A robotic nurses aid will be less likely to share with me, the shingles contamination from their previous patient, or the flu from the one before that.
4. The robotic nurses aid will probably not find me sexually attractive, and decide that raping me will be very satisfying,
for both of us.
Now. . . is when a compassionate and caring mechanical companion in my home could be appreciated.
Robotic practitioners could easily eliminate most ignorant labor. Prostitutes will have to be retrained, because of the speed with which robots will be able to learn that, so many willing teachers.
Imaginations will help give the new robotic practitioners a chance.
Presently, I have a cat that helps to keep me company, but the language barrier is rather difficult for me, as cats are telepathic.
