RE: How robots could run and walk like animals and humans
I can speak from experience when I say most doctors these days are little more than pill-pushers and few have or will take the time to communicate with you well enough to understand what you feel and what your assessment of your problem is. Three years ago when i had to spend some time in a hospital I would have been far better off with a robot for my room care than i was with the medical staff. I agree that robots are inevitable and as time goes on they'll get better and better. So what if they don't have human compassion or "feelings." What we have are just programmed responses that will someday be programmed into a robot which will then cease to be a robot and become an andriod. I hope they build them with and easily accessible on-of switch, LOL.
