The future of robots

After leaving this lecture I couldn’t stop thinking whether the 2099 theory of the humans and machines merging together to form a physical and mental realm.


When I think of robots, I think that they are a combination of metal material which have been made to forgo certain tasks and follow instructions via programmed specialized devices. Apart from that they do not have emotion or any other similarities to humans.

We’ve all seen the make belief robots in the movies like terminator were the human machine form is merged together which are called the embodied intelligence robotics.

“An embodied creature or robot is one that has a physical body and experiences the world, at least in part, directly through the influence of the world on that body.” Rodney Brookes

A clip from the Terminator Salvation film were robots are taking over the world.
