RE: "I, Robot" — From Asimov’s Fiction to Today
You have described everything in detail and gave us examples of couple of robots available right at this moment even if they are in shape of toys.
That's right, the processors are the basics of robots and the developers are adding them bit by bit and coming up with fascinating invetions. For instance, I never knew whan I first bought my car in 80s that a car could do as much as my car Tesla does that I bought at the end of 2024. Or my moper can clean my house just with a command even when I am not at home and go back to its charging station after doing everything.
Yep, the robots will chnge the world but at the same time we should not use them for simple things which we can do by hands or the orthodox tools we're already using. Have a great day.

I don’t completely agree here. Yes, different smart electronic devices that perform one specific task already make our lives much easier today. But I still wouldn’t call them robots in the true sense of the word.
For me, a robot is something much more: a universal machine that could perform different tasks, including simple routine work, much like a human can.
But then another question comes up: is it already a human, or is it still a robot?
This is where I thought of the story by Isaac Asimov, The Bicentennial Man (more precisely, it was originally a short story). Later, together with Robert Silverberg, Asimov expanded it into a novel called The Positronic Man. There is also a 1999 movie, Bicentennial Man, based on these works.
