Westinghouse built a robot that was responsive to voice commands and could make smart aleck comments (if they were pre-recorded). It could also move it's arms and head along with being able to smoke cigarettes. Currently, some robots are capable of doing some of the general human movements such as walking, shaking hands, making conversation, and more. But with the extensive research being done, in the future robots could be doing most of the things that humans can.
