Rodney brooks: robots will invade our lives

the ideas that interested me the most is that how the robots can do what we can't do and help us. the fearless robot warrior interests me the most thinking that it can help us during war and more. there are some connections with this video and info tech, robots are made using technology to make them move, react to something and do commands. another one is when they program a robot to do things and it's like us connecting scripts to make our sprite move and do commands.
