Actually, how many are there? Off the top of my head: BSG, Dune (the early years), Terminator, Matrix, 2001 (not really robots, I guess)... I, Robot the movie doesn't count because it's piss, and the book is nothing like that.

ROBOTS BEHAVING LIKE PEOPLES!
Well if not people, then spastic horse creature-things. This is really going to piss off GP at about 0:35 with his dysfunctionally wired empathy circuit, but I think it's worth the humiliation to prove what robots can do these days (make sure you at least watch the bit at 1:25! Slick!). I've seen videos from these Boston Dynamics guys before, and at this rate of progress I'm expecting full on helper monkey bots (Helbots?) within a years time. Should we throw caution to the wind and ignore all those apocalyptic scifi stories of robot revolutions against their creators? Of course we should!
