| How close is the planet of Earth to creating fully functional robots?; You know, like AI robots that can do anything people ask? | |

Okay, here's my question, how close is the world to creating artificially intelligent robots that can do anything people ask? I've seen Xbox, Kodak and some other companies that develop gaming/photography software showing off products that obviously include software that's close to creating robots, so I know that the people of Earth are atleast on the right track, but where are the robots? I figured by now that robots would have been created... From Xbox's new Kinect controller to Kodak's facial recognition software, a team would have created some type of robot by now... but where are they? What do you think? |

Progress so far has been pretty quick, and I assume in the next 100 years to 500 years there will be very advanced type of robots, similar to the ones you refer to. |

We already have "fully functional robots". For example, the Roomba is a fully functioning vacuum cleaner. For ones that can clean your house, I'd say ~30-50 years. We already made touch-sensitive prosthetic arms, which will be needed for things like cleaning dishes. Technology is advancing so fast now, 10 years ago 1 TB hard drive or 4GB of RAM was impossible for a personal computer, now you can get that in an iMac (the iMac mention was accidental ).

Never. I believe that we are not too far away from AI robots in general. For instance, the turring test has been passed. The mechanics of robotics are quite advanced already, given the rate of growth it's easy to expect it to continue. I don't think anything will every be able to do anything people ask. Why? People will ask for unfeasible things, end of story. The only thing to keep in mind though, is the building of a robot, and the building of an AI are two compleatly independent tasks. And even the AI aspect is debatable. There is no way at this point to even know if strong AI is possible to create. So, it's fine and dandy to say "we'll get there in 50 years", but it may not actually be possible. |

I think advanced AI is possible, but we need the technology to grow to the point in which we can simulate the human brain. And also move to the point of understanding that Programming is limited and we must create something that does everything on its own terms, instead of following a base programming language. So we must create something that simulates how a brain works, and feed it information for it to interpret on it's own. for something that advanced though, I'd say at least 50-100 years. |

Maybe 100-500 years for advanced type of robots, but I think in the next 10-15 years we should a fully functional robot which may or may not be so advanced. |

It will be a long time. I guesstimate about fifty years. |

My guess is 10 years if they're not there already. Wouldn't be surprised they're already working on functional prototypes that just haven't been announced to the public yet. |

How do you know, mister Public? ![]() I would say maybe 50 years? I hope, anyway.

I'd say that humanity needs at least a century to create such robots. We need more resources for that. |

It depends if intelligence is just getting past a critical processing power or gate architechture. Perhaps, only wetware can do it. I personally wouldn't like to be wrong, so

I guess It do Exist Not, Asimo of Japan is Just a Front.... However I would Never Like Robots to contain the Advanced Artificial Intelligence I don't want to see the Earth Fighting it's own Creation... |

Already, we have robots that can cook. We have robots that can teach. And as Panda said, we have robot vacuum cleaners...I think that complete AI robots will be too expensive, and will never really make it into the house. I say 1 year, but probably 50 years until they make it into every house in the world...maybe.

By 'fully functional robots' do you mean robots like in the movie iRobot? If that be the case, then I think it will never happen. Robots to simulate human awareness to that extent will never happen. For example, in the movie iRobot, one of the robots bumped into Will Smith and said, "Excuse me sir." whilst looking at him and continuing its course of action. It nice to fantasize about this, but the likelihood of it happening is very very slim. |
