The disction isn't that hard, really. Think cyborg vs robot (as tortured an existance being a cyborg might be). You still have a "human" brain with its autonomy and decision making and survival instincts etc. etc. with a cyborg (work with me here).

The systems you describe are the difference between a jack hammer and a regular hammer. There isn't any real intelligence involved, just a few mass and velocity parameters. There is no social interaction required by these systems, they are under the command of a human pilot.

"from the beginning", longer than I care to admit.
