Cool but worrying

Imagine how easily they could program it to block martial art attacks etc

Cool. Being an engineer, I like that kind of thing. I used to enjoy watching the "robot wars" show on TV but it hasn't been on around here lately.

I, for one, Welcome our new air hockey playing robot overlords!

Sweet, I can't wait to see robotic soldiers.

And sex robots.

Meh. That's a pretty simple thing, it's basically Pong. This, however, is the shit.

Building a team of football playing robots that will play against the 2050 World Cup winners. A fully autonomous team that will run around on the field and make tactical judgements based on what the humans and their teammates are doing, that's pretty tricky. I wonder if they'll have a robot coach screaming at the sideline?
