I used to think that robots in a home were things from science fiction movies, then I seen this robot that Sony's been working on. It's pretty damn advanced for today's standards. It can carry on a real conversation with someone, it can dance, it can play sports (yes it can catch a ball) and lots of other things. If we keep going at this pace, I think fully-functioning robots could happen very soon.

Here's the official website btw:

This is old news, it can't speak and nor can it catch. It is simply the most advanced robot in terms of bipedability. It can jump.

No, the wachoski brothers believe robots will take over the world. Scientists like to use Isaac Asimovs laws.

If robots were to take over the world and kill off the humans, I am sure Earth wouldn't miss us. (Neither would I)

if robots took over the world... earth wouldn't have anything 'alive'... the robots would prolly destroy all the trees and plants, and they will adapt to water and annihalate all the sea life...
