Rise of the Machines Part VII: Self aware robot

Discovery Channel story

I, for one, welcome our self-aware robotic overlords.

Ugh, very little information there. In searching for more, I’ve come across very little:

An ABC Austrailia article with a bit more on another project by the same person.
The Robot Science Laboratory at Meiji University Computer Science web page (in Japanese, which I can’t read).
The SpringerLink abstract and reference for the paper in IEEE Transactions in Computer Science.

Not much accessible, all in all. If I get a chance to read the paper, perhaps I’ll post an executive summary…

You know if this keeps up pretty soon we’re gonna have to start worrying about hurting our dishwasher’s feelings and whatnot.
