> Also I'd argue that a CNC machine is a robot as well, no different than a programmable industrial robotic arm.

It's true - a robot arm is not so different from a CNC machine.

But a 5-axis CNC is not so different from a 3-axis CNC, a 3-axis CNC is not so different from a laser cutter, a laser cutter is not so different from a vinyl cutter, a vinyl cutter is not so different from a large-format printer, and a large-format printer is no so different from an inkjet printer.

I used to write printer drivers. I jet printers are tiny evil robots and I’ve been saying so for years.
