Hey, this is precisely the plot of several famous science fiction

Hogwash, it would be impossible for robots to become so advanced
that they could exist without humans.
If they could and we were all gone, who would care?

A few billion years from now, when all humans are long extinct, and
robots rule, what will they be saying about their creation? ;)
Don't assume they'll remember us. It's possible they could become
so advanced that they see us as irrelevant.

This is not exactly on topic, although I suppose it vaguely fits
with the Darwinian evolution of cavers discussion. Even though it
does not address the cave-adapted traits of loss of vision,
increased sense of smell, and enlarged sexual organs, it does speak
to the evolution of the armchair-caver.
Our friends in Japan have developed a new robot which should make
your life easier.
