Lending a helping hand
Today, robotic vacuum cleaners. Tomorrow, man-killing machines powered by human blood. Well, maybe not. As of right now, there’s still a huge gap in AI’s ability to mimic human behavior, but scientists are slowly getting there. For instance, this robot was wailing for help when it was stuck in the street.
Currently, robots are amusingly lame in how they move around. Even on a set of wheels, they prove to be nearly completely helpless without human intervention. But as they learn to tip themselves upright without assistance, it’ll only be a matter of time before they take over the planet! Won’t that be a sight to see.
