In 20 years we'll have some pretty good robots already....

I was watching a robot documentary. so in about 20 years we'll already have some pretty good robots. Like you see on the movie: irobot (roughly). Like droids that can do a lot of basic tasks. This isn't 100% but it's very very likely. Already they have some pretty good bipedal robots.

ie:





Boy this is so weird. I wonder if they're acutally going to allow them to be bought and sold. I almost doubt they will though. I think the tech will be supressed to keep the common man down. That's usually the case.

They are already available.

robots for sale

like any new technology it is very expensive at first to help curb the cost of improving it. I remember when beta players came out then the move to vcr. I got a great deal on a vcr only $1000.00. A couple months later better models were selling for $150.00.

Here is another link.

care o bot

Yup and they will actually take your jobs



Fortunately mine will be safe I don't think a robot that can wipe a bum or dodge attacks will be made for another 50 years.


The age of the new Luddites will come.

The more human they become the more inhuman the programs they execute.

Because even though they have eyes, and genuflect facial expression, they see and understand nothing. They carry out only what they are programmed to.

Directive 4

True, robots are coming along leap's and bounds but as you said OP it's probably going to be 20+ years before anything truly "fantastic" comes out and for sale.

I'm waiting for one that will do all my daily activities in 40+ years time (i'll be 70 by then), it will dress me, morning coffee, wipe my bum, take out the trash, make my dinner or phone a take away, change my tv channels (old so can't be bothered) lol, etc,,, as long as it doesn't try to kill me for my money, obey the 3 laws bitch lol.

Now that would be a brilliant robot and would help many old people that can't do it for themselves anymore.

Now i could imagine old folks homes run by AI robots with RoboCop for security lol. I'm in.
