Free-Thinking Robots

Posted November 13, 2006 8:00 AM
Pathfinder Tags: homeland security industrial robotics radiation resistant robots

Idaho National Labs is working on adaptive robots that can prioritize information. Designed for use in areas of high radiation or chemical contamination, the robots recognize unplanned events such as communication interruptions, component failures, or changes in operator workload. Sophisticated algorithms and sensors help them adjust accordingly.

Gee that's what humans beings are (Free-Thinking Organic Robots) without the harsh environment capabilities. Just figure out how clone us and add the appropriate outer protection and your home free.

I had a clone once upon a time! I finally killed him because he was cheating with my wife and abusing my credit cards.

Do you have a security system in your home? If so do you "plan" on there being a robbery attempt?
