Is there a difference between a machine and a robot? I would say yes.
A dishwasher to me would be a machine, similar to a air-conditioner or a car for example.

Yea I’d say robot is more dexterous, moves more. Machines are more stationary. A mechanical arm that puts car parts on a manufacturing line, thats a robot to me.
A coffee maker or an ice maker, those are machines.
