"I, Robot" is a book of short stories by Asimov. Among other things, it presents Asimov's Three Laws Of Robotics. The stories show how these robotic laws might affect robot actions. Please note: in today's real world, computers and 'robots' do not use Asimov's Three Laws Of Robotics or any reasonably similar limitations. There are good reasons for that. For one thing, no current computer has the equivalent of human judgement to employ such laws in a reasonable, logical, way. In fact, real life digital computing may ...more [2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-05 Summary: The man on the Hill ... 1. How many robots in the world have create a crime? None.

Ghenhis was the name of a robot that could walk over anything in its path as it followed a person. Ghenhis had six legs, bumper antennas, and infrared sensors for following the heat of the person signature it is following.

AFSMs can send numbers to components on fixed wires. The first forty eight AFSMs allow Genghis to scramble around rough terrain. ...more [3] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-02-01 Summary: Implicit belief ...
