Robotic Machines Evolve On Their Own

[staarker]

New Scientist recently featured a video which showcases robotic machines capable of learning, reproducing, and evolving on their own. The machines interact with their surroundings and learn to solve any problems they encounter. Then the most successful machines are programmed to "mate" and pass on their virtual DNA. The progeny of these robots are manufactured by 3D printer and assembled autonomously. Researchers think such systems could one day allow robotic machines to learn and evolve on their own in order to complete complex tasks, such as cleaning a nuclear site or exploring an asteroid.

Huh! Did you mention reproducing? How? Will God allow this?

I really doubt if this vision will ever be achieved. What if this robotic machines turn against humans who created them and try to be the ones controlling humans?

I know every machine whether robotic or not can only run if the humans running them are efficient. So this robots can't produce and make themselves.

I've heard about something similar to this before, but I think it was like 5-10 years ago. If I can remember correctly, it was a computer program rather than some physical bots.

I always think that things like this is fascinating. I am a programmer and hive written many programs before. But, I hope to get into Artificial Intelligence one day in the future. I know that some people are scared of this technology, but I think it is best to study something before being afraid of it.
