    i say, it need not be automatic!

    there're few mechanical robots, which move around with the help of a human controlling them, electrically (wires, motor, etc.)
    example - a mechanical car robot, got 4 motors, attached to wheels. The running of motor is controlled by the switches and the electric plug, handled by a human. He an turn left/right according to the wish of the human, not automatic!
