I expect so. :D I had a Siamese ages ago, Nokomis, who not only learned how to open doors with a complicated latch system, but would run and jump into them to close them, so I wouldn’t realize she had let herself out.

Sneaky Nokomis, respect due.

It kind of freaks me out, but I kind of also want one as a pet. Or a lab assistant. Or both!
I must say these are too close to my personal uncanny valley and I find them extremely creepy. And I wonder when and how they will be first used in war to kill people and/or blow stuff up.

An interesting thing for me here is that second one which seems identical but forlacking a head arm /neck section. How well co-ordinated (in the co-operative sense of that word) and independent (or not) was it I wonder?

Yes, but can the robot learn to shut the door behind it? Even my mom’s cat, who can work the bolt, can’t do that. Or won’t.

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind one for a pet, but one like the one who opened the door, with a ‘head’.
