   @DazzaNZ a robot does physical labour in place of a human IMO

     My dinner discussion tonight:
     What is the minimum and necessary things for something to be a robot?

     We got a loop, and a conditional option, physical actuation, an input of some kind:

     Robot: printer, jacquard loom, radio.

     Not a robot: Key and lock, light switch, fake perpetual motion machine, computer with only an LCD display as the output.

     Is the electron beam in a CRT physical actuation, LCDs?

     If an analog computer drives a car, is that a robot?
