characterization of robotic categories is a 1st order of business. 2 of 5 categories are 1. Mechanical Processes 2. Digital conversion. from each according to their means. iteration by addition or materialization by conversion. ps..another nail in the chaotic systems coffin. ps s accepting of course derivative contrivances, as stupidity is woven within the bandwidths potential as limitation, chaos extrapolated simple logics.

We are well over the threshold. <seems like we are close to a threshold where robots will become much more capable...interesting questions as to how that affects our work and the way we live... > 15 years ago one of my customers, a machining factory, showed me one of their machines which was driven from Germany by computer. They just put the metal in the machine and the machine and the computer in Germany did the rest, churning out formed pieces of metal. It had many tools and did many intricate operations on each piece of metal. It made production of those parts very cheap and required not much skill to put metal in the machine, change the cutting fluid, replace the tools, etc. Robots have made cars for years. But the big change underway is the move from industrial revolution to cyberspace revolution. Machines replaced muscle during the industrial revolution, but computers are now replacing our brains. Brains are vastly more valuable than muscle. Humans will be left behind just as chimps were left behind by our DNA evolution into braindom. Symbiotic humans will stay with cyberspace for some time but there's not much guarantee of a job 100 years from now in the cyber-realm. Already, whole countries are on the wrong side of the binary divide though ElM is stringing fibre around the place. There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't.
