The only way you could come close is if you took humans, added robotic limbs and through software or media programming turned them into robots... but that took place years ago. You can tell the robots among us by the glazed look in their eyes and their willingness to blindly accept what politicians and authorities tell them.

robot self-awareness is not the next threat the great threat is their recognition of us as the enemy as in Terminator agreed on self-awareness I had a wonderful dog in late 1980's we used to laugh until our sides split, as we watched him bark at the full length bedroom mirror if a dog aint got it, no manmande robot will either I think you under-estimate what primitive self-awareness might entail though the robot's question as decommission approached was "would it not be better if I survived?" a simple concern driven by programmed self-preservation is what came across interesting, nonetheless the biggest movie flaw was personal biometric recognition it was all ID cards, no retinal, facial there was some handprint, as I recall / jim
