Title is borked. Should have a what in the beginning.
- basicallydan 11y agoProbably yes, but consider this interpretation: > Seventeen prominent roboticists think: "Google should do with its robots." Doesn't matter what. They should just do.

- kaybe 11y agoThat would mean that Google is able to fulfill a task with the robots, no? As a figure of speech, 'this should do' means that something is sufficient. Any first-language speakers?
- basicallydan 11y agoMakes sense to me! Q: "Which company is sufficient with its robots?" A: "Google should do. [with its robots]"

- csours 11y agoI also love the reddit tracker in the URL: http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/.VvMLpmu3Gb4.reddit
- ikeboy 11y agoIt's not a reddit tracker, it doesn't get sent anywhere. It's added when you have the reddit companion extension installed, to tell it to show a toolbar. mrfusion must have the extension and clicked on it from https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/4bolus/what_17_prominent_roboticists_think_google_should/ https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/4bolus/what_17_pr..., the only submission at the time of the submission here.
