In the old movies and TV shows robots (with the exception of the wonderful Blade Runner) usually didn't look like people. They had some semi-human qualities like the fact that maybe they could reach like a human or talk like a human, but in general, they weren't an effort in replicating a human. C3PO couldn't really move like a human and although the actor brought a lot of character to the robot, he was clearly a robot. 'Robot' in Lost in Space wasn't able to smile. And what about the Cylons in the old Battle Star Galactica. Not many human qualities there. But lately that's all changed. The robots in AI, I-Robot, and the new Battle Star Galactica all look more human and express human emotions.
Are we on the cusp of robots invading everyday life? And will those robots look like people? In ten years will the world be a different place? Will robots replace people on some jobs?
