Robot Slaves’ Slaves: Monty Gets A Roomba
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 1 of May , 2008 at 8:07 pm
We introduced you to Monty last year at RoboDevelopment, and it looks like he’s made some progress… Instead of doing your cleaning for you, Monty has figured out how to delegate his responsibilities to other, less complicated forms of robotic life. Namely, a Roomba. It’s an interesting move; as soon as robots figure out how great robots are at mindless manual labor, robots will start getting themselves robots to do all the robot work for them. And where does that leave us? Yeah, probably cowering in a corner somewhere.

Well eventually it will come full circle; people had people as slaves, people have robots as slaves, robots have robots as slaves, then the inevitable robots having people as slaves…

To quote Will Smith: Robots building robots… now that’s just stupid.
Eventually, robots will just sit on the couch watching nothing on TV and eating… remind you of any species in particular?
