Robots with artificial intelligence enabeling them to do everything from simple tasks like keeping our house tidy to becoming a part of the human society might become reality in a few decades. How will this transform society?

Paul Marks, a technology correspondent wrote the article, Packs of robots will hunt down uncooperative humans. He is concerned about how this technology will end up, and rightfully so. The Pentagon looking for contractors able to deliver a "Multi-Robot Pursuit System", should raise some eyebrows.

Future technologies on how to "search for and detect a non-cooperative human” at the present time in the research and development stage, might outdo any of our imaginary ideas. However, it is easy to envision how non-human lifeforms with humanlike intelligence can be used for police operations.

New robots walk like a human

ScienceDaily (May 22, 2008) — Researcher Daan Hobbelen of TU Delft (The Netherlands) has developed a new, highly-advanced walking robot: Flame. This type of research, for which Hobbelen will receive his PhD on Friday 30 May, is important as it provides insight into how people walk. This can in turn help people with walking difficulties through improved diagnoses, training and rehabilitation equipment. Read more
