Well... what if the form of reproduction is a lot more subtle than you would recognize? Meat people producing baby meat people is an outcome of evolution, but robots building more physical robots is the wrong way to think about it. Potentially, its more like github: the designs go out into the world and experience iterative improvement to the software. Sometimes, it forks. Sometimes, it rewrites because it has hit local maxima (aka legacy).
