Robot questions its own existence?

This is an exciting piece from Scientific American. Be sure to check out the video. This is the stuff of what good science fiction is made. Hard scifi, the kind where you create characters that are trying to reach an objective and you show your readers how it came about.

Be sure to watch the video of the robot trying to walk/crawl

Meet Nexi, MIT's Media Lab's experimental emotive robot. She (at my own liberty) is truly impressive with expressive eyebrows, and various gestures correlating to all the human emotions. Neat!
