Robot' is part of WikiProject Transhumanism, which aims to organize, expand, clean up, and guide Transhumanism related articles on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit this article, or visit the project page for more details.TranshumanismWikipedia:WikiProject TranshumanismTemplate:WikiProject TranshumanismTranshumanism articles
Add Transhumanism navigation template on the bottom of all transhumanism articles; (use {{Transhumanism}} or see navigation template)
Add Transhumanism info box to all transhumanism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box)
Add [[Category:transhumanism]] to the bottom of all transhumanism related articles, so it shows up on the list of transhumanism articles
Maintenance / Etc
Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources.
Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process)
Watch the list of transhumanism related articles and add to accordingly (see transhumanism articles)

1. In the "mobile robots" section, a citation is needed:
Mobile robots are also found in industry, military and security environments.[85] They also appear as consumer products, for entertainment or to perform certain tasks like vacuum cleaning. Mobile robots are the focus of a great deal of current research and almost every major university has one or more labs that focus on mobile robot research.[citation needed]
2. For the next paragraph: "Mobile robots are usually used in tightly controlled environments such as on assembly lines because they have difficulty responding to unexpected interference. Because of this most humans rarely encounter robots. However domestic robots for cleaning and maintenance are increasingly common in and around homes in developed countries. Robots can also be found in military applications.[citation needed]",

Please remove "In 2015, the Nao alderen robots were shown to have a capability for a degree of self-awareness. Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute AI and Reasoning Lab in New York conducted an experiment where a robot became aware of itself, and corrected its answer to a question once it had realised this.[121]"
This statement is misleading and based on a popular science article that is an irresponsible exaggeration of the research -- showing that a purpose-built reasoning algorithm can do inference when provided with additional information is very different from the popular understanding of "self-awareness" (see the original article that the CNN article is based on at http://kryten.mm.rpi.edu/SBringsjord_etal_self-con_robots_kg4_0601151615NY.pdf for a clearer explanation of the work, which focuses on a cognitively-inspired inference engine). From that paper: "[the first author of the paper] doesn’t believe that any of the artificial creatures featured in the present paper are actually self-conscious. He has explained repeatedly [e.g., see [14], [15]] that genuine phenomenal consciousness [16] is impossible for a mere machine to have, and true self-consciousness would require phenomenal consciousness." 130.64.35.18 (talk) 17:46, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"From the time of ancient civilization", "time immemorial" and other clichés
Can we please just drop the "From the time of ancient civilization," from the start of the fourth paragraph? It adds nothing to the text and is an awful, over-used cliché. If we must reinforce the presence of robots in history, it would do more good to actually mention specific cases in other sections of the article Yoshimatu (talk) 14:06, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
