In a sense, modern commercial aircraft and many military fighter aircraft are already flying robotic devices.

Built in computer controls fly many of the airplanes that are in the air at this moment, it's called "fly by wire". Some of the fighter aircraft are so difficult to keep in the air, the only way to actually perform that task without tiring out the pilot is to have the computer manage the control surfaces while the pilot only appears to fly the airplane.

As for commercial aircraft, auto-pilot is certainly a robotic function.

What is the difference between smart robots and dumb robots?

Smart robots are robots that operate under programed control and are able to learn as they perform their tasks. They are used in scientific exploration and deactivating bombs.On the other hand, dumb robots are non-adaptive robots that are used to perform repetitive tasks and learn nothing during the process. These robots are valued for their efficiency for performing industrial jobs that are repetitive or dangerous.
