#2 is up
Robot Secretary 2
I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't understand where I am.
I don't know which end is up.
I don't know my ass from my elbow.
I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Novel machines such as the one you've posted would seem to have (to my doubtlessly untrained eye) four elbows, and no ass. Perhaps the extra arms will allow the struggling drones from your Robot Secretary series extra arms to clasp on to as they make their way through the wearisome struggles of the office world. It might move too slowly to accommodate their impatience, however.

It's interesting that while I said I did not know my ass from my elbow, you point out this robot has four elbows and no ass.
The entire question is obviated for this creature! No wonder they're taking over the earth.

It might be more accurate to suggest that an earth predominated by 4-legged spidery robots (if they mate, do they make an 8-legged spider robot, turning completely into the thing which it resembles) would not be called "earth" anymore, the idea of there being an "earth" an entirely human conceit. Earth being one of the four classical elements, according to one of the ubiquitous Wikipedia disambiguations. Perhaps they will rename the planet in their image. What word might a robot arrive at that meant "domain of the quadruped"? More to the point, would then the quadrupeds be able to claim harassment when the boss fondled their undersides? Ah, yes, it all goes back to the play. For that is the thing to contemplate in the age of the digital camera.
You could also, of course (in response to your other statement), introduce your ass to your elbow, and via this introduction get to know both of them at the same time. It's called "multitasking". :)

Robots don't have language skills, so I imagine they would call Earth "[code]".
I hate multitasking -- I hate single-tasking; I hate tasking, full stop.
You know what else I hate? This thing of leaving hyphens out of everything. Multi-tasking would look better with the hyphen -- without, it looks sort of like "mutlitaking" or at any rate the brain does some kind of fidget with it.

Well, if "multitasking" without a hyphen looks and sounds like a compound word for a dog lighting a sovereign on fire, I envision a much richer future without the hyphen. Unleash the creative hounds!
As robots can't talk, their chances of conquering [code] would be much enhanced, since they can't argue with each other either. Perhaps they could enact the democratic dream absent our current word-manglers' oligarchy. Maybe that isn't fair. I guess Dick Cheney can, on occasion, be eloquent. Or not.
