Shape shifting robots

Aug 26, 2008 1023 hrs IST

It looks like folks at Intel loved the movie transformers so much they want to make those robots for real.


We all remember Transformers, yeah that cheesy but awesome movie about shape shifting robots that rampaged through movie screens quite a while ago.

It looks like the folks at Intel loved the movie so much they want to make it real. Intels chief technology officer said that the gap between human and machine intelligence will largely close by 2050 and we should really let the future Terminators have shape shifting abilities.


Specifically mentioning Intel is doing work on providing wireless power and building tiny machines that can take on the appearance of anything from cellphones to even human beings. That's quite a tall order but the guy likely won't be around to be criticized if he's wrong anyway so what's the harm?
