Robotic Nation Evidence

In 20 years or less, robotic advances will be stunning to people, and they may even start to feel the threat of competition coming up fast.... now about that Butlerian jihad...
 

I remember that post back in 2003, I've been coming here for quite a while.
 

Braxton, you are wrong. In the last 15 years, we have made some huge advances in computer vision and artificial intelligence that we can actually do a good job of object recognition in cluttered environments and planning in large state spaces. Unfortunately, the hardware has not been able to keep up and that is the main reason why robotics is being held back. I agree that AI didn't do very well in the 80s but that was a long time ago and we now have learned the techniques to get things done.
