The gymnastics event at the robot Olympics will be interesting. I wonder if it could skateboard, that would take some coordination.
In The Netherlands, libraries are giving away copies of Asimov´s I, Robot all through November. It´ll help create awareness of the problems involved.

Bipedal robots were a fantasy 30 years ago after all.

Embed A.I., hook them up to Google and involve drones, and we could have Skynet and Terminators. Maybe not today, but 10 years from now. Couple that with a "sheeple" populace, ones who actually want driverless cars because they can't be bothered to take their eyes off of the Kardashians on their cellphones, and who will stop them?Unfortunately they won't have the Rules of Robots programming. I, Robot meets Fahrenheit 451 meets 1984?
