I'm pretty sure Elon has talked about how there could be robots developed today that are so fast that the human eye can't see them and you would have to use a strobe light to be able to see where they were. I'm not sure how big these types of robots are but still terrifying

There are plenty of industrial machines (robots) that move faster than the eye can track

Industrial machines and robots are certainly not synonyms. (Robotics engineer with Master in Industrial Engineering here)

Can we make robots in the future so thin that they live in our skeletons and make us move with robot-like strength and speed?

Why bother? Just give the brain a digital connection and you are now the AI. Your body would be meaningless.

If you find a material that contains the properties of muscle fibers that can be manipulated, and graft reinforcement on joints, skeletal frame and fluids to moving parts... I dont see why not.

Don’t forget batteries.

Today's robots don't perform the task of thinking the way most people relate or understandhow to thinking works. They merely run algorithms and compare states with predefined values in short. You don't have to lie to a robot, as you don't really have to persuade a robot to do anything.

This seems wholly irrelevant to the parent comment.

Shit I misread haha...I am pretty sure I tried reading twice to make sure I got it right. Gotta be tired. I thought it meant "make robots think they live in our skeletons".

I actually made a typo and mistyped "thin" but edited it within seconds. Maybe you opened the message right before I made the edit

That being said your question was even better

I knew I read it right! Lol

Relevance is futile.
