It's interesting that so many people talk about "when" we get to the point where robots can "think" but I think more people should be asking "if" robots advance to that point, and if so "how". Even the most advanced AI of our day pales in comparison to even a mere infant. I have yet to see an answer as to how a machine can be made to think instead of just following pre-programmed instructions. It has been said that the human brain is one of the most complicated structures in the universe. Matching that complexity would be quite a task.
The building where I work has absolutely horrible cell reception, but we have pretty decent wireless coverage throughout. I am always missing calls when I am at work, sometimes important ones. This looks like a promising solution to lame cell coverage.
