      Not smart at all!!
      There are lots of very smart people working on artificial intelligence but for now we still have to tell robots everything we want them to do. Without our computer codes robots wouldn’t know what to do and would just sit around staring at each other all day

      They are only as smart as we teach them to be! We can program them to ‘think’ and ‘understand’ only in a given space, which is much more limited than our capabilities. That’s why we have so many types of robots that are specialized in specific tasks, like mounting a certain part in a factory.
