Robotics
Robots and drones are computer-controlled machines capable of perceiving and manipulating their environment.
Drones are non-sentient machines. They are highly used because AI programs are quite expensive.
Putting a computer that runs an AI neural net inside of a robot body, thereby making a sentient robot, is of course possible.
Bots are widely used for dangerous, physically demanding, or dull tasks, such as:
- agrobots;
- Battlesuits and exoskeletons;
- Cargo handling, delivery;
- Construction, mining, salvage, including underwater
- Domestic servitors
- Teacher, nanny, elderly care - because they are patient <3
- Maintenance and repairs
- Transportation
- Petbots, to low key keep track of children
- Police: riot control, bomb disposal, evidence gathering, scanning
- Surveillance, media
- Medical bots
- Pleasure bots - as an experiment, kink, or experience - sure; but honestly, humans are much cheaper
- Exploration, rescue - for special situations like taking drunk billionaires down from Everest.
