We know already robos can think faster, remember more, and have better visual acuity than humans can manage but it gets better since their hearing is more acute than ours as well. (Science Daily: More objective than human hearing)

In industrial production, the testing of machines and products by means of acoustic signals still takes a niche role. At the Hannover Messe 2017, Fraunhofer is exhibiting a cognitive system that detects erroneous sounds more objectively than the human ear. The technology has successfully passed the initial practical tests and there detected up to 99 percent of the errors.

Ed: humans are obsolete
That does seem the sad fact, Roscoe. The lack of faith that idea shows for humanity amuses me since people didn't have anything to do one Sunday and said to each other, "What say we go out to explore the world and, you know, populate it."
So we did that and now you worry robos will eat us?
The interested student is invited to review the original article for the mechanical aspects of this technology but our interest is in the capability. Ed already thinks we're going to hell behind this and many others believe that as well.
Ed: robos are violent and vicious and will kill us all!
Yah, yah, if robos get that way it's because we programmed them for it so you tell me who's at fault when we get eaten.
Ed: DARPA?
Well, that was easy when they're at fault in so many things of that nature.
Ed: we will get eaten by robos but DARPA will make them?
They're making them now, boobie. It won't be robos eating you except insofar as they're surrogates for DARPA. You don't screw with Pandora's Box and you especially do not give her weapons.
Ed: DARPA does!
Well, tell me again where the problem lies, li'l grasshopper.
We have nothing to fear, regardless of robos with more capability than we, so long as they're governed by the Three Laws of Robotics but DARPA doesn't even teach them what they are. (WIKI: Three Laws of Robotics)

- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
When Congress legislates those Laws as mandatory for the software / circuitry in all robots, we will know they have become more interested in life than their current fascination with death.
