Yes, robots are supposed to be perfect... well at least perform their task perfectly. What would be the point in designing a machine to do something half right? Yes, like any mechanical equipment they require maintenance and repairs.

all ai involves algorithms, one or many. not all ai has learning capability. conventional ai is not much more then a very complex and well thought out algorithm that has little or no learning capability. many software, especially gaming engines have conventional ai and yet most of them dont have learning capabilites.

and again yes it is supposed to be perfect but it isnt. there is no perfection in computer science. give me an example of any complex piece of software that cannot be improved, or made more efficient. i dont know what the reason would be that you think machines are perfect, when all around you they fall apart, even with maintenance or repair. and by the way software doesnt require maintenance and repairs. before i was refering to software inaccuracies that lead to imperfection, not hardware.

and yea dennis i didnt know you were joking. thought you might have stared at that thing trying to figure it out first. i know more about computer science than you would think.
