Separate the functionality of robots so we don't have T1000's roaming the streets.

That is Plan B, in my opinion. The best option is for human-cybernetics. Our scientists and engineers should focus on enhancing human capabilities rather than outsourcing decision making to artificial intelligence.

Think about it. Apart from environment mapping (which has existed for a long time), computer game characters (AI) have been doing the exact same things for ages.

The only difference really is this is real, and not virtual. We're ridiculously behind in things like AI and robotics, and it's mainly due to the fact that companies woke up a little too late. What you see in this video was possible a long time ago, and should have been done maybe 10-20 years ago.]]>Aug 5th 2009 9:36PM
