Hi Blink,

Related to this -

Don't know if you've seen it, now about 10+(?) years old, is an Errol Morris documentary called "Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control" that deals with this very area. In fact, one of the subjects of this film about 3 distinctly unique life-paths/professions, is a robot scientist at MIT who was a pioneer, maybe even the originator of this concept, hence the title of the film. By now, I am sure the technology is way beyond what was capable at the time the film was made.

The other 2 people are a lion tamer, and a topiary sculptor. It is a rare look into the lives of some very interesting people done in a somewhat cute, lighthearted way with profound effect. You might like it if you haven't seen it.
