| Jul 25, 2013 at 18:11 | comment | added | user797 | @Shahbaz, This can't be philosophical; We don't just call any random machine a robot! There must be some sort of criterion. The word robot just means worker anyway so technically human labourers are robots. | |
| Jul 25, 2013 at 17:22 | comment | added | Ian | I wouldn't say that this is so abstract/philosophical as the defining the difference between robots and living things. Essentially, this question is asking why a servo doesn't count as a robot even though it senses and reacts to its environment with some goal -- however simple that goal (of holding a position) might be. There is an objective answer to this question, even if it's just to say "what we call a robot is arbitrary". | |

| Jul 25, 2013 at 16:39 | comment | added | Shahbaz | This is a philosophical question. You might also like to consider thinking about what is the difference between a robot and a living creature. But unfortunately this kind of questions is not constructive for this website. And short answer to your question is that there is no exact definition. | |
