From the dawn of time, mankind has speculated what the future will bring. For some time now, no vision of the future has been sans robots. We’ve all imagined a time in the future when cute anthropomorphic robots like R2D2 and BB8 would be a regular part of life or each family would have their own C3PO tending to the chores and piping up with useless bits of information.
