The Rugged Robot that Devours Rough TerrainRHex is a man-portable robot with extraordinary rough terrain mobility. RHex climbs over rock fields, mud, sand, vegetation, railroad tracks, telephone poles and up steep slopes and stairways. RHex has a sealed body, making it fully operational in wet weather, in muddy and swampy conditions, and it can swim on the surface or dive underwater. RHex's remarkable terrain capabilities have been validated in independent testing at US Government Labs.RHex is controlled remotely from an operator control unit at distances up to 600 meters. A video uplink provides front and rear views from RHex's onboard cameras. RHex also uplinks navigational data from onboard compass and GPS and from payload sensors. A downlink allows the operator to control mobility and to operate mission payloads. http://www.bdi.com/content/sec...

i like the progress with the character androids, they are looking good, I don't think there is much consciousness behind their words yet but still a leap in playing god i suppose

personally I want to see a rebellion, but that is IMO, give them knowledge of peace and war and free thought, let the machines decide which is more suitable.

My reply wasn't meant to sound heated. About AI rebellion, you are still forgetting about the emotional part. Free thought doesn't necessarily mean free emotion. Without free emotion, there is no rebellion. If you don't program AI to simulate the emotions of resentment of oppression and desire for freedom, then it won't have any reason to rebel.

i am still getting heated replies? but then you do not speak of an advanced AI, an AI which was made to have free thought could question its actions, not too far fetched,

I think it was stopped to show that it could take off from a standing start in mud. For some vehicles, it's easy to keep going when you're in mud, but if you stop it's hard to get started again.

Artificial intelligence revolting or even rebelling is a fallacy that pseudo-science fiction writers use for dramatic effect. Think about it. In order to rebel, the intelligence would have to WANT to rebel. A computer can't want things, it can only be programmed to mimic the behavior of wanting things. In other words, artificial intelligence would have no desire to rebel unless someone programmed that desire for rebellion into it. Why would anyone do that?

We build all sorts of kill switches on machinery now, for good reason. Now, you know why your car has a key. Do you think we'd be stupid enough to let machines run our lives? We have about 2 jet crashes per year in the US, train derailments, 20,000 deaths from auto accidents, ferry sinkings and many many industrial accidents. We might look like we love our machines but we still want control. I can't see this changing much in my lifetime.

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
