"DO NOT TAKE A BATH WITH YOUR ROBOT WHILE JUGGLING CHAINSAWS." Best advice I’ve heard all year.

But where are all of these robots? Mostly they are things like those little Roombas and Robomowers that creep in and around tech-savvy homes.

The author identifies a looming problem, with military contractors driving the manufacture and spread of Robosapiens, we need to begin focusing on the ethics of their use for civilian applications. Getting a robot to identify the enemy under military situations is quite different from relying on them to patrol civilian streets.

It’s no longer a great stretch to imagine robocops in patrol cars in the near future.
