UN report: robots booming. Still no Jetsons
Wired Article: When Robots Rule the World
This is still a far cry from theJetsons or the Bicentennial Man.
The best we have today is the roomba or a robot lawnmower (for practical purposes) or pet robotic dogs (for entertainment).
Yes, with some big bucks, you could have little more sophisticated robots. But even these are nothing compared to what the Jetson creators came up with in the 1960's.
I think people were a little too naive regarding the complexities of movement and senses. To be able to move and navigate as animals do is incredibly complex. It's so easy for us, we just take it for granted.
I would say we're several hundred years away before we have robots that can match what fiction presents. It's one of those things in life that's much harder than it looks.
What's your opinion?
