More About The Product
"I have devoted my life to building intelligent robots, and these robots are just now starting to emerge from labs out in the real world. As these robots get smarter, some people worry about what will happen when they get really smart. Will they decide that we humans are useless and stupid and take over the world from us? I have recently come to realise that this will never happen. Because there won't be any of us (people) for them (pure robots) to take over from" RODNEY A. BROOKS
