We as humans are so stupid. One day Skynet will be self aware and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

lol. I find it hilarious how a couple months ago people were posting here about how the robots will never take our jobs, and used as a argument robots falling over, stumbling,etc.

Advanced robotics mixed with expert systems (limited ai) will wipe out most jobs eventually.

This company is making huge strides (pardon the pun)....five years ago their robots were barely able to walk on four legs without use of a tether.

I had one that would do back flips decades ago. You wound it up as opposed to charging it's battery but in one way, we haven't came that far.

This is a tad (read: a lot) more advanced than a toy.

You can't outrun them. You can't out jump them. And you can't out flip them. There's no escaping them.

Check out the thread on slaughterbots. This is t the scariest part, turn loose a few of these with autonomous facial recognition and you got terminators.

Michico Kaku said he met the world's smartest robot, Osimo, and said it was about as smart as a "retarded baby."

Yep. Just 40 years ago the top toys were "rockem sockem robots" and "atari".

Computers have already overtaken many fields such as data organization and compiling.

Translating that to physical actions? Welding robots, robo calls, roombas, mcdonalds kiosks....it's already here only a fool doesn't see that.
