Fascinating piece on the history of 'robots'. Back to the 15th century. Meant to do real jobs or just impress? Far too expensive to just impress, but I will accept that is part of the reason. ...... And we have long known that even the appearance of capability or intelligence can be a powerful thing. But today there is much more attention paid to actually measuring value. And their cost will not be ignored.
Please ignore the robots in the Verge.
