Scientific illustration

Robot reading a newspaper, computer artwork. This could be an android robot programmed to act like a human, but lacking intelligence. Alternatively it could be a cyborg, where a human body is combined with machine technology. The human brain within the machine would produce the quintessential human behaviour and mannerisms seen here. It is also possible that the intelligence is an artificial, non-human one. The dog could similarly be either robotic or cybernetic, or it too could house an artificial intelligence (AI).
