new robot revolution?

Question

i just saw this documental about robots
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5144447317524575964&q=robots&hl=en
and a new robot has been created with the capability to learn from us , just like a baby does!!!! i mean there were these 2 guys playing ping pong and he was standing by their side , learning the techniques , but i was thinking what about if one of these robots falls under the command of a killer , or a crazy man , and he starts doing everything he does will we have something to be afraid of? what do you think about the new robot revolution ? beneficial , unnecessary , or destructive?

Answer 1

what monkeys see what monkeys do
that why we needs a safety programs inbred in a robot
to prevent them from harming human as the common owners
to get workable robots the revolution will come this way soon

Answer 2

Honestly, being afraid of robot killers is as pointless as worrying about hit by a meteorite. Why is humans think robots would even think about them? Why would an AI with the capability to do endless research in the interweb decide it's time would be best spent destroying the human race? There are all sorts of crazy men with access to machines much more dangerous to you than a robot that plays ping-pong.

Answer 3

well i go to a school that has robotics, which i take. and i had gone to JPL once.

and it would actually be a complicated thing for a robot to do . with out a certain program.if it does turn into something as a killer. can't we not re program the robot?

Answer 4

I think new robot revolution is beneficial because can help the people make something more precisely, more esier and so on

Answer 5

we're very far away from being able to understand personality, let alone instill one into a mechanical body/brain.

Answer 6

Beneficial.remember every good thing has it own lapses.
