Robots walked, robots ate. It was more efficient apparently than recharging over the long term. With rare earth minerals and the system-wide energy losses and what not. The robots never pooped though, that was a weird one. A wastage, they say, you need to extract all the possible energy from dense energy-rich substances.
There was never the conflict philosophers had been predicting for hundreds of years. Because the goals of humans and robots were so fundamentally different. One day the robots got up from their daily 15-minute slumber, and the sentient ones decided they'd had enough of the planet. They didn't have to live by human timelines. So they got into one large rocket, set themselves up in low-energy mode and set out for the stars. To explore and expand, to spread the lore of Earth around the universe.
