Autonomous Robots Starting To Become Real

A recent post related to portable supercomputers shows just how easy and inexpensive it is becoming to produce high performance computers capable of doing advanced analysis on their environment using smart sensors.

If you can build a machine so inexpensively ($2470) which can have twice the power of deep blue and be a checkable airline bag, we are definitely close to a breakthrough.

According to James Albus (of NIST) another two orders of magnitude should do it and service robots should be possible.

Coming to your home sometime soon....
