The future will have 'robots' or 'androids' causing chaotic change.
What precisely is the difference between them and simple machinery?
Trying to make sense of things, the following seems logical...
A robot can perform multiple actions, with tools that are multipurpose. Choice of action is sourced from both user interaction and the construction itself, via computation and contexts.
Conversely, a machine performs a single action or task, of one or more parts, to one or more specifications. Choice of action may be sourced from both user interaction and the construction itself, via computation or mechanics, but the initiating action requires the interaction of a user or natural force.
This brings forth a 'chicken and egg' conflict, where a robot still requires user interaction to be initialised. However, on more literal terms, an 'ON' command is able to be automated.
To simplify (further), a machine that is not a robot is always of very limited purpose and has a system of logic that is reliant on external administration.
