Rise of Robots

How smart can robots become? At this juncture, they are as smart and as dumb as humans. It's along way to go in the field of Robotic AI. This video shows latest advancements in the field of robotics... it is really amusing.



Keith Curtis in his book After the Software Wars reasons that driver less commuting would have been achieved by now or inching close had the AI community adopted FOSS and worked in a collaborative model.

Probably as smart and as dumb as might hold true forever. However powerful the machinery becomes, heroes emerge to save the World. Have we not seen it happen in I-Robots or The Terminator? probably the best of the lot is Forbidden Planet in which the machinery is so advanced that it can materialize anything including mere subconscious thought of it's creator and gets destroyed for the same reason; earnestly decoded by our Hero.
