The robot as intelligent as humans can be closer than we dare to think.

Artificial muscles and synthetic organic intelligence can be tools that make it possible to create robots. More intelligent than humans. The artificial muscles are tools that mimic human body movements. Those muscles can be protein fibers that are made to mimic the muscles. Those fibers can change their length. When something like electric impulses impacts those fibers. 

Those systems are called "dry" solutions. The wet solution includes small bags, filled with electrolytes.  When electricity is conducted to electrodes that are at both ends of the bag,  electricity pulls electrolytes to that side of the structure. Another way is to use cloned muscle tissue and 3D printers to make that kind of muscle. 

When we think about computers and computer-controlled systems those artificial muscles require nutrients. Those muscles can be put on the metallic- or carbon fiber skeleton. There must be some kind of bone marrow. That makes blood to those artificial muscles. The brains for that kind of system can be computers. Or they can be so-called synthetic organic intelligence. Synthetic tissues require nutrients. 

Synthetic organic intelligence means the cloned neurons. These are 3D bioprinted things that can think like human brains. Researchers hacked the DNA that makes our brains unique. Then the system injects this special DNA into the mini-brains that are created for medical research. The system can grow those brains under the class domes where the system feeds those cells. 

Then the system can drive memories to those cells using the microchip and then the brain and its substitence will transfer to a robot body. That kind of robot can be our worst nightmare or our salvation. The robot that is more intelligent than humans was theory a couple of years ago. But bio- and genetic engineering and highly advanced AI-based computing are making those visions closer than ever before.
