Why don’t we have robots taking care of our every need by now? A little history of the field of robotics might help you understand how hard it is to get machines to perform tasks, and how far we’ve come in just a few decades.

Why does every one hate us so much I get the whole point of view thing but if you were able to be the most efficient you could wouldn't you do the same especially when your using them against those you see as people with no morals and are a threat to the safety of your country and will not face you in a proper manner. but yeah our extent of use of robots for war is kinda going ridiculously far and to me kinda is a thing that should be discussed if it were to go to being able to eliminate a target without permission from us even thou it really wouldn't be much of a difference any ways… ok It is a totally valid point to hate us meh…
YAY it's Hank :D
Isn't ABB Swiss?
There should be a law against sentient robots.
Somehow, this episode makes me want to play The Talos Principle again. lol
One word
SKYNET
was hoping you'd mention the FRC. I am disappoint.
America is building robots for war because we are at fucking war!! It is the most applicable reason at this time. It takes money and need to develop technology… be it war most of the time.. cold war= space race= computers= cell phones.. see? The world Is very complicated and not as black and white as every young person wants to think.
Robotics started 1000 years ago in modern day Iraq I know how it sounds but research it.
I'm an android.
Technically, we're organic robots! The technical part is that we're self-aware, and real robots aren't.
1: Give Baxter stronger arms
2: Give Baxter machine gun
3: ???
4: Profit
The DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals were hilarious. Many a GIF was born on that day.
Maybe Someday something can carry my load.
I have visited a factory with giant robots in Finland (close to Sweden) Guess what they built! Toilet seats!
I'm still waiting for a claptrap.
Considering how awful politicians are, I wonder if having a robocracy would not be a blessing. AI with the goal of advancing humanity could be a lot better than any human government
Wow my calculator has more RAM than most early robots.
