I found this quote more than a little amusing: '"The worst fad has been these stupid little robots," said Minsky. "Graduate students are wasting 3 years of their lives soldering and repairing robots, instead of making them smart. It's really shocking."'"

    Can someone explain to me how a remote controlled device is considered a "robot" ??

    I guess if I go and buy a remote controlled car and add a spinning blade, then it is no longer a remote controlled car, but it is somehow transformed into a B2R "Blade 2000 Robot" !!!
