Got this interesting news from Science Daily today. They are pushing through with the creation of micro robots that will be use in:

- spying,
- mine detection
- search and rescue missions in collapsed buildings.

      It's the best show that was ever made.

    Which probably means they've been used for the last twenty years in the military.

    Robots should be used in life threating incidents or for house chores like vacuuming and floor washing. My favorite is IRobot scooba.

    As long as they follow Asimov's 4 laws of robotics we will be fine.

    I like the idea of maid-robots

      micro-technology is sure to head in head in this direction
    3. Agit8r
      you might say it's the WAVE of the future
    4. celticmusicfan
      OK I am sure it is meant to be double meaning again

    I like the idea of cell-size micro bots aimed in curing diseases or fighting cancer.
    1. Agit8r
      that would be good. yes

      yeah, it'd be nice if they think of making robots for positive reason first, before considering the above mentioned reasons
