Self-Awareness in Robots

I stumbled across this a while ago, and it doesn't appear to be here, so... I am thoroughly stoked on this idea. This kinda makes the robot like a baby. Add a few more sensors to collect data about the surrounding world (via camera, pressure, microphone) and you've got a human almost.

As I was leaving work to go to lunch on Friday, this old guy walked in and started asking questions about some of our technologies. He said he was working on some project with university students to give robots senses like smell, taste, etc (he was curious if we had any sensors for smell sense we used to make/develop oxygen sensors and such.) He also said they were working on self-replicating robots. Pretty cool shit IMO.

All of those sci-fi movies predicting the rise of robots and the overthrow of man all begin like this.

One of my co-workers told the guy "Robots are going to take over the world one day" and the guy responded "That's the point."

It's inevitable at this point, so there is no use in worrying about it. We already rely solely on 'robots' or computers if you think about it. Without electricity this planet would shutdown in a matter of days.

Before long, we're not going to have much choice. Technology is getting so advanced that there will be (if there already aren't) things that a single person really can't fully understand in a lifetime. People also seem to be getting exponentially more lazy, and we'll likely use robots and computers for any convenience we can. I don't really see a problem with it either. I don't think there's any reason to expect a Terminator/iRobot sort of thing to happen.

There will be one good robot, and Will Smith will save us. I already watched this movie.

Seriously though, this is pretty cool. So, they gather data and think off of that, basically? Or, that's what it'll end up like, when it's all said and done, yeah?

They don't gather data at all as far as I know, they come pre-programmed with it. The scientists purpose is try to create a program that teaches them to learn, and acquire data that they can readily use.
