However, Dextre is a long way off from having the kind of independence that robots in science fiction tales possess, Marcotte said.
"Is it capable of doing a task by itself? No, we're not there yet," Marcotte said, explaining that autonomous industrial robots such as those used in automotive manufacturing "are doing repetitive tasks in a controlled environment.
