      They already do have more potential in many of these things, they just need to improve their potential to adapt and learn, which humans are just amazing at.

      I don’t believe they will ever be able to have true empathy and emotion though.

      Robots are already stronger and faster than humans (they build thousands of cars every day in factories for instance). I don’t know whether they’ll eventually be cleverer than humans though – we’re very good at adapting to new environments and solving problems.
