  1. Mark Felton, i noticed an important editing error in this video. With the Borgward you stated a human drove it to a certain point and from that on, the driver exit the vehicle and took over by radio control, perform his task and drive back to safety by radio control so the human driver could take over again. Shortly after you say the Borgward was not reusable and therefore the German army did not like it. With the Gotiath, which was a remote operated bomb, you stated it was reusable. How can you reuse a bomb? With a lot of duct tape?

  2. As a mechanic, i consider a machine to a robot when it can complete a task autonomous. When it is controlled, both tethered or by radio control, it must be able to complete it's taks when no one is behind the controller. If not, you can call everything a robot, which includes my radio controlled model helicopter. But when i let the sticks of the controller go, it will crash, so it is not a robot. My DJI Neo drone on the other hand, is able to perform and complete 6 different tasks without any kind of controller, fly back to me position itself in front of my face, and wait until i hold up a openend hand. He will fly to it, land in my hand and shut down his motors. That is actually a robot. He perform the chosen task without any kind of human input other than push the button for that task once.
