What has to be expected?
Robots in maintenance and repair 21
Spontaneous reaction: well, repair is a very complicated part of (re-)fabrication since all cases
are different certainly, repair will be a very late phase of robot integration
1) Teslas Robotic Metal Snake Charger (youtube, 2015): not exactly repair but
maintenance. Concept could be adapted to other tasks as oil change etc.

What has to be expected?
From embodiment to humanoids 23
Embodiment theory I:
intelligence needs a body
The existence of a body (incl. sensors and actuators)
are basic prerequisites to build experience and
finally the development of intelligence.

Cognitive computing (CC) makes a new class of problems computable. It addresses complex situations
that are characterized by ambiguity and uncertainty - it handles human kinds of problems. To do this,
systems often need to weigh conflicting evidence and suggest an answer that is best rather than right.
