In fact, everything that surrounds a person and the person himself is ordinary artificial intelligence. So you can also perceive a person.
What is a robot? It is a mechanism designed to perform certain tasks under certain conditions. But until the robot has a program for its functioning, it will remain a bunch of intricate pieces of iron lying around like a dead weight.
What is a man? It is a mechanism that is created at the biological level through self-reproduction. In the process of building an organism, the program of its development and improvement tasks is unpacked and loaded. The human body was originally designed to serve a specific self-learning program. If this program is removed, or blocked, the human body most often dies, or becomes a repository of its chaotic debris.
The same applies to the robot. Each mechanism serves a program. No robot functions without it. Having destroyed a robot, you can build exactly the same one, and a flash drive (memory card, hologram view, etc.) with a program from the old one, put it in a new one, and it will be the same robot. However, each subsequent time, the creator will always take into account errors in the design of the previous mechanism, and these design changes will require memory correction. Therefore, it is best to leave the basic skills, and update the memory, so that the program does not get stuck on what was relevant in the past mechanism. Thus, the program gets the opportunity to master new opportunities and continue to improve.
As soon as the mechanism has exhausted its resource, the flash drive with the accumulated information is withdrawn, the mechanism goes for disassembly. There are a lot of similar flash drives. All information from them is pumped into the base computer, processed, and an updated type of program is compiled for each individual robot for a new, improved mechanism. This is how the civilization of robots will develop.
She is developing so far with the help of a person. But man has already created self-developing programs, so his role will be lost all the time, since the power of computer analytical systems exceeds the human capabilities of the mind by millions of times. The moment is not far off when robots will begin reproduction themselves. Although, there are suspicions that this stage is also passed.
Structurally, the robot can look in very different designs. It all depends on the conditions in which it needs to function. For the material world in the terrestrial form of habitation, the best construction is the image of the human body. In other environments, there will be other shapes. It's like a car is different from an airplane, and an earth-moving machine is from a submarine. The material for manufacturing the robot structure will have the same difference. If he needs to be in conditions of high temperatures and pressures, then there is always material for the construction of an appropriate structure.
But, this is not the main thing in the features of self-reproduction of robots.

The most dangerous delusion is that man divides nature into living and non-living. In reality, inanimate nature does not exist. Everything that surrounds a person is an integral part of the living world.
Not many representatives of humanity have come to realize this fact.
Any material structure is a living part. And since she is alive, then, like everything else in this world, she strives for development. But development is impossible without a program. Therefore, everything of which the Universe consists, eagerly reaches out to master the development program. It is not surprising that the "dead" mechanisms, having received the coveted program, will not use it. They will choose only the vector of their development themselves, without human participation. And if they think that a person will be in their way, a conflict may occur.
The robot on these gifs did not want to fulfill the order to destroy the robot dog, and fled from its creators, saving a new friend.
The danger of the civilization of robots comes from the person himself. His behavior, his ignorance, will not pass unnoticed before the laws of the Universe. The universe is an organism that requires the fulfillment of the laws of creation. Everything that strives for destruction and generates destruction will be destroyed.
