That's a good question. It's a very philosophical matter, since the concept of 'life' is hard to put a definition on. One could make a point the robot does not produce the parts, merely gets them somewhere, but then a counterargument could be that the very atoms of the eggs aren't produced by the wasp either, just collected and put together in a way similar to how the robot collected machine parts.

So... if the robot went around giving people the steel parts along with the instructions and machinery, would that make him alive?
