      I don’t think so. There are a lot of rules about what you can and cant do to animals to protect them and I think making them into robots would be unethical. However I do think we could make robots that look like animals which could be really useful as they are smaller and easier to travel with.

      Hmmmm. Not sure you could turn an animal into a robot as it would probably die in the process. Also, its probably not ethical to do it and morally might be a bit shady. But there are already lots of robots with animal features, in fact robotics takes a lot of inspiration from animals as they do things the best way they can because thats how evolution made them
