Today it is already possible to build robots with human appearance.









"
When Robots Attack: What Does the Future Hold?" by Nicholas Deleon.

Seems funny.  But what will you do when the resemblance between human and robots will
make it hard on you to determine which is which?

Soon before we will even notice it,  we might start developing affections to robots. We
may like some of them and dislike others. Ridicules? Affections for robots?
Take a look at the following picture:











"
Who Will Be Legally Responsible for Our New Robot Overlords?" by Elie Mystal

seems shocking at first, but is this the next stage of love toys? At the moment the picture
is categorized as art. But it is at the moment.


In this picture you can see an automates robotic car, which drives without a driver











"
Stanford Unveils Second-Gen Robot Car" By Marty Jerome

What will you do when you are involved in an accident with a robotic car? Who will be
blamed? How often will you here the phrase "a machine doesn't make mistakes even if it
does.


In the folowing picture is a robot design for security and war perpeses:

The first thought which may pass through our mind is that it may save a lot of lives
wasted in wars. But what if you are a soldier or a civilian fighting against the robot. Does
it makes a difference between military and civilians? And what if the soldiers are dressed
in civilian close? Does it take prisoners of war? Does it sees baby's as a possible threat?


In the folowing picture you can see a House Cleaning Robot:

Technologically it still has a lot of problems which will probably be solved in the next few
years. But assuming it can do any house chore think about how fat, lazy and ungrateful
humans are about to become soon.


Because of
artificial intelligence it is possible robots will have their own opinions and
perhaps some amount of feelings like the
Heart robot. perhaps in the near future we will
have to deal with the following questions:

What will a robot do during argument with a human? or with another robot?
how will a robot commiting a crime will be juged?    
Will robots complain about their working conditions?
Can a robot fall in love with a human?
