Thursday Robot Round-Up

Robots will take over in the future. The only question is when. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords. However it would be nice to have a better idea of what exactly they are capable of so I can know when to expect their dominion to begin.

Hopefully this will turn into a weekly or bi-weekly round-up of all the terrifying advancements in the week of robot technology. Fear and love.

First up: Skin.

Researchers have developed artificial skin that has the sensory ability precise enough to detect a butterfly landing on it. Precision. Skin. Detection. Domination.

Second: Decepticons

Researchers have taught robots to deceive their human creators. The algorithm helps the robot decide how to lay traps, false trails, and hide from those looking for it. Tremble ye mortals.

Ok...so. yeah. I'll be curled up under my desk for a bit. I'll pop out for tonight's Happy Hour show on the Impact from 7-8pm.
