That is sort of awesome. Developments in robotics not to overcome physics, but to overcome arbitrary man-made rules (outside of a robotics competition). I'd like to see more of that as long as it's not military or violent.
- grandalf 13y agoArguably assembly plant robots exist to overcome arbitrary man-made rules (labor laws)... edit: not sure why this was downvoted.
- tbrownaw 13y agoI thought they existed to overcome the limits of what humans are capable of. People are only able to move so fast, are only able to lift so much, become less mentally present after so long, etc.
- grandalf 13y agoThat's not generally true. In some cases robots offer improved precision, but in many cases a robotics-oriented factory takes a tremendous amount of capital to design/create and there would rarely be a business case to build it if human labor weren't so costly (due to labor laws).
