The robot should be able to scan your motions and develop a trend pattern to calculate your emotion and your hand movements BEFORE you throw out your gesture. It should be able to read your gesture and then change its own gesture to a gesture that trumphs your gesture in a matter of microseconds. Since it takes longer for the human brain to react than the machine's, the robot should be able to win every single time.


Now lets give it a connection to a nuclear stockpile.]]>Feb 22nd 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.umop.com/rps101/rps101chart.html

This student takes his distance, why? Because the other ones got too close and discovered that when the robot loses he rips his opponent's arms (very much like Wookees)]]>Feb 22nd 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/Feb 22nd 2009 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/Feb 23rd 2009 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/Feb 22nd 2009 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/Feb 22nd 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/Feb 22nd 2009 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/Feb 22nd 2009 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/anthropomorphic-robot-shows-off-its-rock-paper-scissors-playin/

Don't agree about the welcome though. If a pile of sheet metal and wires wants to dominate my evolved ass it's gotta work for it.

Scared now?
