iRobot Arms Bomb-Inspector ‘Bots With Tasers (Taser, What About A Shotgun?)

Hello Stupid!

One law down, two to go? iRobot, manufacturer of the Roomba vacuum, has teamed up with Taser to arm its Packbot robots with stun guns. But it’s hard to say whether this is actually a violation of the first of science fiction author Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics: “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.” Clearly, arming a robot with a stun gun is the first step towards breaking that rule. But the Packbots, currently used as bomb inspectors in Iraq, are remote-controlled. If there’s a human operator standing at a distance with his finger on the Taser trigger, is it really the robot that’s doing the harm? Yeah, probably. But please discuss.—Gregory Mone

I want these robots to have real guns. How are we going to get serious on terrorisms or crime if this thing has get to 5 feet from you to do anything to you. Might as well make it a RC car with an LED laser.

Will Robots do the work Illegals won’t do? Or perhaps a Voluntary Prisoner Work Program?

I wonder if Robots will do the jobs the illegals won’t do? How much would we have to raise the minimum wage or increase border security where it will make business consider hiring a Roomba to not only vaccume the floor, but make your bed and clean the toilets?

Or will we use prison inmates to do the work the illegals are doing now? I mean the government did have government-owned ‘Pea Farms’ in the earlier part of the last century. After the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, I don’t see why farmers could not pay prisoners to do the work on their fields?

Perhaps part of the pay the prioner earns can go to reduce the costs to the state? The prisoner, perhaps, would also get time off for good behavior? Farmers who need labor will have American citizens doing the work that would normally go to an illegal.

Sounds like a win, win, win situation for me as long as it is VOLUNTARY. If it isn’t voluntary then I would not support the program.

Robot plays Baseball

Saw this video on YouTube with this robot attempting to play baseball. I wonder how long before we stop paying the Derek Jeters and Cal Ripkens and use robots for our Baseball?
