Aliens and Robots (S10E03)

S10E03

Unmatched power... Advanced intellect... And the capability for reproduction. In the 21st century, robots are being designed for tasks ranging from conducting surgeries to exploring distant planets. Humanoid robots are advancing at a pace once reserved for the realm of fiction. However, what are the consequences of developing machines that possess heightened intelligence and autonomy? Does our fixation on crafting artificial humans foreshadow humanity's future or echo its history? Ancient Greek legends from 2000 B.C. speak of Hephaestus creating automatons for warfare, while Egyptian texts recount Osiris being rebuilt and revived like a machine. If ancient advanced robots truly existed, what roles did they fulfill, who created them, and what became of them?
