If you’re freaked out a bit by artificial intelligence, here’s a robot with a potentially reassuring message.

A service robot called REEM can tackle the question: “Should I worry about AI?” (Recent concerns along these lines have touched on everything from killer robots to job-destroying automatons.)

“The short answer is you do not need to worry about artificial intelligence for many years,” the robot says.

“Artificial intelligence requires a body to interact with the world. And we are very far from creating an artificial body with a brain that is smarter than a very basic animal.”

In other words, there is not yet a sufficiently powerful combination of robot brains and brawn, according to this view.

REEM is offering this take at London’s Science Museum as part of the British attraction’s “Robots” exhibition, which covers 500 years of history and runs until Sept. 3.

Another section in the exhibition highlights a related challenge for the bots — communicating well.

“For robots to be the companions and helpers of our dreams, they would need to use and understand the same social cues that we do,” a poster reads. “This remains a huge challenge, as human facial expression and body language are often subtle.”

Getting back to REEM, it’s a “full-size humanoid service robot” produced by PAL Robotics, a Spanish company. It’s previously worked in a Mideast shopping mall, talking with customers and promoting a treasure hunt there. REEM is expected to travel with the “Robots” exhibition to other museums after this summer, then later become part of the London facility’s permanent collection.

Other robots featured in the exhibition are Kodomoroid, an android TV anchor, and Asimo, a Honda HMC, -0.28% creation that REEM aims to rival. Plus, there is an animatronic baby, helping to explain why visitors on one April afternoon repeatedly could be heard using the word “creepy” as they walked through.

The financial industry, of course, has jumped on the robots band wagon, offering up ways to invest in the AI trend and running a robotics-focused ETF ROBO, -0.28% .
