Very similar, yes. What is required are non-destructive brain scanning techniques, some type of massively parallel neural net processing environment and storage to house the mind, and a sensory interface to the outside world. Since perception IS reality, the robotic body can come later, but will probably precede the mind stuff anyway. At any rate, both mind and body will be upgradeable. How about direct mind access to everyone? How about mind-cloning and networking? How about sending yourself to mars in a body made to take the abuses of space flight, and returning to network your findings with your Earth mind? How about robotic bodies capable of extracting everything they need to operate from their surroundings, regardless of the surroundings? Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon seem to be ubiquitous.
I also envision complete miniaturization of the entire system, so to me the future is going to be trillions of self-encapsulated networked AIs which look nothing like us, but which we will think of as human, because they will be us.
50 to 100 years tops.
Aside from sheer distance, this is the main reason why I believe we have never been visited by aliens. Any alien civilization capable to intra or inter galactic travel would have long before found ways to control their own evolutionary cycle, and would have manufactured their own bodies and minds. We will simply never be visited by biological creatures, or even intelligences we can perceive. Alien visitors are highly likely to be very small, and capable of being impossible to detect.
