These remotely controlled in vivo robots provide the surgeon with an enhanced field of view from arbitrary angles, as well as provide dexterous manipulators not constrained by small incisions in the abdominal wall.

Automated analysis is probably the better way to figure out what Web sites are hostile. Robots are just staggeringly more efficient at these tasks.

Autonomous robots alone will be unable to realize those scientific goals in the foreseeable future,

There's something so arrogant about us creating robots that are more and more human-looking or acting. It's like we're playing God. Let's create something that's a reflection of us, but it's inferior.

The practical case for manned spacef light gets ever-weaker with each advance in robots and miniaturisation - indeed, as a scientist or practical man, I see little purpose in sending people into space at all. But as a human being, I'm an enthusiast for manned missions.

But our ways of learning about the world are strongly influenced by the social preconceptions and biased modes of thinking that each scientist must apply to any problem. The stereotype of a fully rational and objective scientific method, with individual scientists as logical (and interchangeable) robots, is self-serving mythology.

Adept robots handle our smallest components with speed, accuracy, and precision far beyond what a manual assembler could achieve. The robots are so easy to program, we don't have to hire engineers to manage the process. The results have been impressive -- our lab efficiency and accuracy have increased dramatically.

I've got these wonderful little movies of the robots doing the moves in the office with people answering phones in the background.

If you look at it from just a pure economic basis, technology is replacing all of the jobs robots can do, and machinery is replacing the jobs that humans once held. If we don't train our children to imagine, to create, they're going to be unemployable.

If you look at the field of robotics today, you can say robots have been in the deepest oceans, they've been to Mars, you know? They've been all these places, but they're just now starting to come into your living room. Your living room is the final frontier for robots.

I'm going to leave it to the new generation, to the crash-it-up robots that dominate the game.

Everyone’s gone mad, typing to themselves all day long like mindless robots.

We don't only want to make robots in universities; we want to create good humans. We can't shape a world only with the help of robots made out of technical know-how. We can't be useful to humankind if there are no sentiments in life.

This is the kind of bio-inspired technologies and systems of the future where self-directed and self-correcting swarms of robots can be assigned to do any task that a human cannot or would rather not do.

I can definitely see these robots having a much more instrumental role in this and the following years than they did at the beginning of the conflict, due to the fact that a lot of the improvised explosive devices are on the small secondary streets,

Everybody's out there wrestling like a robot.

I got to draw monsters, robots and write funny stories. I loved doing that stuff and working with the actors. But it got to be less and less that stuff and more about trying to be everywhere and not being able to do one thing very enjoyably.

I have been in situations where actors are treated like robots: say the lines, say it like this, we don't have time for conversations. That is a terrible position to be in as an artist. You feel used.

Most robots don't program themselves.

This whole notion that the robot has to declare nuclear war is one part of the discussion, but it may not be reality. Reality is, maybe it can empathize to a far greater degree than we can and experience a way wider range of emotions. So, why not have a robot that can do that?

Anybody who makes speeches written by someone else is just a robot.

Supersonic bionic robot voodoo power Equator ex my chance to flex skills on Ampex

We are all robots when uncritically involved with our technologies.

Take a picture of this so Isaac can see it when they invent robot eyes.

I don't see a future where we're all taught by robots. The real life, physical experience of being in a classroom and having conversations with knowledgeable people is immeasurably valuable and irreplaceable.

The machine has no feelings, it feels no fear and no hope ... it operates according to the pure logic of probability. For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately than man.

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable. I am not a robot.

Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.

Eventually, robots will make everything.

Email is not going to disappear. Possibly ever. Until the robots kill us all.

The great mystery is why robots come off so well in science-fiction films when the human characters are often so astoundingly wooden.

Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.

Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots.

After assembly complete, when we have a larger crew on orbit, a more complex vehicle, more laboratories and more robot arms, maybe we'll have room for specialists. But right now we don't.

Put Smarties tubes on cats legs, make them walk like a robot.

I didn't think he was a robot...but I did wonder if his emotions had been designed out of him. Of course, with a guy, how could I tell? Ha ha!

Omigawa is moving forward like a karate robot

Sam: You know what I wish? Cassel: What? Sam: That someone would covert my bed into a robot that would fight other bed robots to the death for me.

One of the main things we have been looking at is, how can we get a robot to think about situations it's never seen before?

Ecstatic over the total annihilation of the Earth, Dr. Strangelove "resurrects" himself, miraculously regaining his ability to walk. His mechanical, robot-like body rises out of his wheelchair, crying exultantly: "Sir! I have a plan. Heh." (He realizes he is standing up.) "Mein Fuehrer, I can walk!"

i'M nOT thOM yorkE but a. ROBOT.

Me, I have a science fiction writer's conviction that the damn robot is supposed to speak human, not the other way around.

Working out what it would take to program goodness into a robot shows not only how much machinery it takes to be good but how slippery the concept of goodness is to start with.

In summary, Intelligence Intensification is desirable, because there is not a single problem confronting humanity that is not either caused or considerably worsened by the prevailing stupidity (insensitivity) of the species: badly wired robots bumping into and maiming and killing each other.

Human society as a whole is a vast brainwashing machine whose semantic rules and sex roles create a social robot.

The brain is a robot-computer perfectly designed to fabricate any reality we program it to construct.

Individual societies begin in harmonious adaptation to the environment and, like individuals, quickly get trapped into nonadaptive, artificial, repetitive sequences. When the individual's behavior and consciousness get hooked to a routine sequence of external actions, he is a dead robot, and it is time for him to die and be reborn. Time to "drop out," "turn on," and "tune in.

Dear Sir, poor sir, brave sir." he read, "You are an experiment by the Creator of the Universe. You are the only creature in the entire Universe who has free will. You are the only one who has to figure out what to do next - and why. Everybody else is a robot, a machine. Some persons seem to like you, and others seem to hate you, and you must wonder why. They are simply liking machines and hating machines. You are pooped and demoralized, " read Dwayne. "Why wouldn't you be? Of course it is exhausting, having to reason all the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.

Robots do not love. God created us with the capacity to love. Love is based upon one's right to choose to love. We cannot force others to love us. We can make them serve us or obey us. But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.
