Vijay Kumar's labs at the University of Pennsylvania are building some pretty amazing flying robots that can act as a unit, fly in formation and and do some other very cool things. These smalls robots could function in a variety of ways, including first response missions to ferret out intruders or find survivors in collapsed buildings, the transportation of objects and construction.
As amazing as this technology is, we have to consider the repercussions of an increasingly automated world. Could the world of Terminator really exist one day? When will the fascinating advances in Robotics result in the hostile take over of the earth by vengeful A.I.?
I've listed a few books and films that portray different versions of humanities future and how machines can change or even dominate the world. Help me compile a full list of A.I. by adding some titles to the Comments section
iRobot series Issac Asimov
Dune prequels by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
Butlerian Jihad
The Machine Crusade
The Battle of Corrin
