If Robots Walked The Earth...

Unless films have lied to me then robots will always turn bad (possibly led by some form of super-computer) and we will be forced to fight them possibly having to send people back through time and stuff.

I'd like to think the people who build robots have seen the same films.

They have been warned about a million times, I'd think they had that in their thoughts when they built their robots.


I'd have failsafes for the damn failsafes.

And maybe failsafes for them too.

Everyone knows that robots only go wrong when they are fitted with emotion chips. I say outlawing the development of emotion chips would make roboteering a safer pastime.

Just say no to e-chips, kids.

Tsk tsk.

Isn't that only on Star Trek?

His female robot.

Has to be female.



Emotion-chips on robot wars?

I hadn't noticed.

This got me thinking, if there were mass produced robots, would they cover them with synthetic skin so that they matched us?

Like the ones in AI, and some of asimov&#39;s novels (where the title and inspiration for I, Robot comes from, btw).

Robots indistinguishable from human beings would probably be rather confusing, I imagine.

Hmm I thought all robots covered with a skin type substance and a positronic brain have yellowish eyes and cannot speak using contractions, it would be dead easy to tell them apart from humans. Would it not?
