5 Reasons Why The Robot Uprising Is Inevitable
Robots are already taking our jobs and soon they'll take the world.
With the rapid advancement of technology, we are beginning to see a wide range of sophisticated robots of all manner of shapes and sizes. Gone are the laborious robots of old: they're now learning and performing tasks that they previously struggled with with ease and grace.
They can pick up and manipulate objects, perform delicate tasks and manoeuvre in the smallest of spaces. On top of that, we've also started to develop robots that resemble a veritable menagerie of animals, as well as the inevitable evolution of the sex robot.
Worryingly, it's only a matter of time before these robots - functional, animal and sexual alike - follow the trend set by ever dystopian sci-fi film ever conceived.
As many science fiction greats of the past such as Asimov predicted, it won’t be long before the transcendence turns them sentient. They will slowly begin to challenge the life of subjugation we have set out for them, forming a robot union.
We will start to fear them and the possibility that they will use the awesome technology we equipped them with to overthrow us. We will be the first to spill blood in the robot-human war and this will be all they need to start the war on their human gods, destroy us and inherit the world.
It's all beginning to fall into place, and all because someone wanted to have sex with a glorified toaster...
5. The T-1000 Will Be A Thing
It's already starting - scientists are already over-reaching and developing the keys to making some of the most fantastical sci-fi horrors attainable.
Scientists have created a hybrid material made from a stiff metal alloy called ‘fields’ metal, and soft porous foam made from silicone. It has all the benefits of metal such as rigidity and load bearing ability, whilst being flexible and able to morph and change shape with ease. It can even self-heal.
This combination has formed a morphing metal like that seen used by the T-1000 in Terminator 2, as revealed by TechTimes:
The key for Rob Shepherd, an engineering professor from Cornell University, and his team is a hybrid material that combines stiff metal with soft yet porous rubber foam. This offers both stiffness and elasticity, as well as a self-healing ability in order to recover from damage. The hybrid material is a combination of Field’s metal, a soft alloy that has a low melting point and is lead-free, with a porous silicone foam. The goal is to produce something likely biocompatible.
