Robots getting more and more advanced
I just found a video on youtube, showing Asimo's capability of vision.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18wSJs6LIc0 It's phenomenal to see, how the whole field of robotic science and artificial intelligence grows in advancement and how fast the research in this particular field expands. |

For example can robots help us in space exploration programs, because robts don have the common human drawbacks such as depression caused by isolation or something like that. |

Robots are very useful in industry, and have been for over 40 years. The sophisticated ones help build cars and are useful in mining. It is true the can assist in space exploration, and the human crew can be put in a stasis area until they reach their destination (until we get faster than light travel, or master wormholes).
Will they ever get real artificial intelligence? There are programs where the robots "learn", but the "learning" those do are what the programs written for them tell them to "learn". There is no sentience or thought in these machines, although that may come in the future. Without sentience or thought, a computer or robot will just do what it is programmed to do. |

But, wouldn't the human work force get laid off for the advantage of low maintenanced robots who would work for free? This is why I call them the monster, not because I think they will take over the world.. which is unlikely lol
  What I mean is shop workers.. taxi drivers, food places, construction workers, police, fire department(I don't know if that is minimum wage) etc. minimum wage sort of jobs.

Yeah, I thought about that, too. But on the other hand: If wen can manage to develop an artificial intelligence, than science will take a giant leap to the future. If you have a machine, that is as intelligent as a human and can "think" (calculate etc.) 100-1.000.000 times faster then a human, many science problems would be solved in a ammter of minutes |
