Best drinking experience in NYC right now belongs to Vandaag. Order the Glogg. The spoon is for the Cynar-soaked almonds in the bottom.

I have enough dogs in the way. I sure don't need a robot.

When will we have robots that can cook and clean? The market is waiting..

I prefer humans to robots, and physical reality to the virtual version. Robot technology will do more harm than good.

they can make robots but they cant make a hand that works for a amputee. i know $26,000 for a hand that only pinches with thumb and one finger. figure it out boys. i need a hand that works

c'mon patrick, robots that take preprogrammed commands and a prosthetic that responds to biochemical electrical impulses have no comparison...not to minimize your situation at all

Here are some real robots:

Patrick, be patient awhile longer. Many of us left the field of research because the military took what we developed for their own means. Can you imagine what they would do if we perfected the art of myoelectronics when they already kill by remote control? However, when I left the field, there were promising developments by the younger researchers. And don't forget market forces. They are already generating quite a bit of funding for activity in this field. Do the best you can for awhile and keep pressure on the medical engineering companies. Good Luck.

i prefer robots to humans,,..im waiting...

Very nice Mr. Bruce. However the whole point of robotics is that the entity be autonomous, as opposed to relying on telepresence. This means concentrating on the software ( i.e. machine intelligence). By the way, I noticed DARPA's ugly head in the article, so thanks, but no thanks. I would rather tinker in my own little lab and make no money than to help them even a little bit. I'm with you, Matt.

Is this where we implement the 3 laws of roboctics?

I want a robot that can give me 12 orgasms in one hour. I hope she looks like Hilary Swank.

Remember Robin Williams folks. Two hundred years and even a robot will get tired of living.

You have not seen anything yet! Check out this cool robot that Carnegie Mellon helped create. This little guy is super cute, looks like a marshmallow peep and dances. Friend or Foe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yC0n3RahCE and Daniel vs. Robophone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1H4JlJcIhc

Congrats on reading the first line of the web page:
"Robonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA."
Not only is Robonaut, Centuar and Chariot autonomous but Robonaut & Centuar also use virtual reality technology that can be used as a surgeon on the battlefield during war.

As robots become more common, questions arise about how they will be conctrolled. One way to regulate robot behavior is to form legal contracts with their owners.

when I was 10 i expected we'd have perfected AI by the year 2000 and robots would be as common as TVs... oh well maybe by the year 3000?
