I think that's only possible when they associate the robot itself with self-learning. Maybe connect to some database where the robot can download the new subject, study it and replicate it as a human, and after many tests, they will keep upgrading its abilities to see where they can go. I like to imagine this kind of stuff too, but i imagined what will be like when a robot can have the body of an humanoid, and an almost unlimited storage space in it's "brain" function. Connected to the World Wide Web, free to download any subject. I think that's when the shit hits the fan, when he is so advanced that he can learn about any subject and upgraded. Maybe with so much knowledge, he can start to see some kind of flaw in the Human itself, making algorithms after algorithms to solve it. Maybe the solution is just fuck shit up starting to replicate new robots of himself with the methodology that he learned while trying to solve the problem, a perfect time for some hidden malware to benefit some country, organization or maybe a single person. Anyway, extend too much here, but its a very interesting topic to discuss about!
Btw -> Imagine walking on the forest and saw the Atlas just walking and shit? I honestly don't know what i would do. Lol
