Tesla's robots are still human controlled

Back in the... must have been the late '70s, maybe very early '80s, GE in Pittsfield MA had a huge open house. My Dad worked there, and it was a time we could go see where he worked. The guys in the high voltage lab associated with power transformer were doing all of the big arcs, and over in the naval defense department they had a little robot that was wandering around and interacting with people. And was obviously remote controlled by someone off-screen.

That has stuck with me in the current craze of demonstrating robots as "AI"...
