It is not yet clear to us to what extent the Mechanoid "robot" was truly autonomous, given the fact that it apparently required a human operator, Tony. Perhaps the Mechanoid robot was semi-autonomous and was guided by Tony, or perhaps Tony was the remote operator and the "robot" had no real artificial intelligence of its own. The answers to these questions are possibly found within the story itself, which we have not yet read.

The Mechanoid robot was dubbed "America's First Fully-Automated Soldier," so it seems strange (given this descriptive label) that it required a human to control it.
