Immobots

Immobots; immobile robotter, der kan tænke selv…
Quite unlike the metallic contraptions that march stiffly through sci-fi movies or the mindless, stripped-down devices that heft parts on our assembly lines, the new robots have more brain than brawn. Each possesses a detailed picture of its own inner workings—encoded in software-based models—that gives it the ability to respond in novel ways to events its programmers might not have anticipated. Because many of these inward-focused, self-reconfiguring machines don’t move, some computer scientists call them immobile robots, or “immobots.”….
Disse nye robottyper indvarsler en fremtid, hvor maskineri er programmeret til at handle modelbaseret, fremfor regelbaseret. Jeg er helt vild med, når sci-fi romanernes scenarier bliver virkelighed!! Jeg håber at jeg lever længe nok til selv at rejse ud og sige “hola!” til de cuddly aliens i Mobys “In this world”…
