Actually, guys at CM, MIT and Stanford (and many other places) are steaming ahead with robotics. And don't get me started on Japan.
Another place is at the companies who are trying to build a self-driving car.
The existence of free will is something that can never be resolved: we do what we do, and can never really know why. Even if we know what lead to a particular action, we would still be faced with the problem of where that action came from. Thus free will is a topic only important to navel gazing fools.
This whole article is some education student's fantasy. The only emotional attachment a soldier would have with a robot is the same that he likely has with his gun: it's important to him, and if it gets damaged in battle, he will be more motivated to get even with the enemy.
In fact, the whole idea of "primaries" (which, as far as I know, do not exist outside of the U.S.) is inherently anti-democratic, and was created to give the early primary states an unfair advantage. Case in point: the only reason the U.S. is still promoting corn-based ethanol is because any politician who came out against it would be sure to lose the Iowa primary.
So what is the most influential form of information today? Obviously video. And what is the most influential source of that video information? AP?CBS? FOX? No, YouTube.
Certainly this can be done, and will be in "socialist" places like Denmark, Germany and Finland. But unless the U.S. takes a huge turn to the left, disaster will result.

At $50,000 the PR2 would be grossly overpriced for what you get.
Woosh.

And nobody is buying them. Windows on a portable device will never work.
No matter what the application, if you are using it to further some objective that is important to you, then it as tool.

What existing roads? Under what driving conditions?
You don't know, and neither do I.

No, YouTube .
Is so!
I saw one on the Flintstones.

In the future, humans will be executed by processors!
