We'll be seeing embodied AI well before any human level of AI.

By "embodied" do you mean "humanoid"? It seems like there's more demand for humanoid robots in some parts of the world (Japan) than other parts (US). Or by "embodied" do you mean detached autonomous robots like the Roomba?

The reference to autonomous fleets of quadcopters would suggest the latter.

Yes, "embodied" was simply physical, capable of motion and physical action.

Reactions will depend on the physical capabilies and culture too. For me, I've never liked bugs that fly, so the quadcopters press my buttons. Watching Terminator may have something to do with it too.
