Reproducing Robots
by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 30, 2000 12:44pm PDTEven more signs computers really won't need us in the future, as scientists have created a system where robots can design and construct other robots. Right now several robots are creating tiny plastic prototype robots and they are described as ``nearly a self-replicating artificial life system.''. About the only thing they can't do yet is snapping in the motors.
However, automatically-produced robots would still be designed for specific tasks and would not be the all-purpose humanoids of science fiction.Well yeah we can only hope for robots that don't realize they can do without us...

Now whoever the hell is responsible for this idea really needs to watch some movies and be enlightened to the error of his ways. Highly intelligent robots that can reproduce and program themselves = bad idea.

They found that ``group dynamics of swarms of robots may follow similar rules to those governing social insects.''
HELLO! Of *course* they found they behaved like insects: They programmed them to act like insects!
Fucking idiots....
