Evolution of robots from ancient mechanical devices to modern humanoid robots, highlighting the progression from early gears and levers to advanced artificial intelligence and robotics in a high-tech environment.

It has long been a common belief that our intelligence is the most defining trait that sets us apart from other living beings. But what if this defining characteristic is no longer exclusive to us? With the astounding advancements in artificial intelligence, the question arises: Can our intelligence be not only replicated but even surpassed?
