kids:
Are we there yet?
driver:
We'll get there when we get there.
And that's all I know....
I think we'll see consumer "robots" popping up in the next eight years. Consumer devices like robot vacuum cleaners mark the inroad to domestic automatation.
(asimov fans will get it )
We'll get there but it will probably be awhile. Unless someone has a big breakthough in computer design and programing I'd say maybe as far away as 200 years.
The apple branded android....iRobot
what were the rules of robots again?

Yeah. The things that people find easy - recognition, language, etc., computers suck at. The things people find hard - chess, math, etc., computers are great at.

that number (200 yrs) seems excessive. i think we can get reasonable ai within a decade or two. i think if we approach ai from an evolutionary perspective it will come sooner. once we can get an evolution chain going, we can work on optimizing the [fake] evolution, and ai will come sooner. unless we are able to reverse engineer the brain and how it does all the groovy things it does on a low-level, then we have to come up with a way of making the brain without really knowing whats going on; i think evolution is the key there. (ai would be so much easier if [god] had made brains open-source.)
There was a AI project called Psyche (Google for Psyche) that tried to teach human reasoning and gave the program the ability to come up with it's own conclusions. The one I remember most is "When Lincoln was in Washington, D.C. so were his legs." Incredibly obvious to you and I, but for a program in a box that's a milestone.
And the fact that the AI's are in a box it turns out is the problem. Researchers in the field (Cog for example) are realizing that the best way to teach an AI 3d spatial relations is for it to learn it just like a toddler does: two eyes and two arms and playing catch.
If you want a human-like AI, you must give it human-like mobility and human-like senses. The lads at Honda with Asimo are progressing the field more than these "What is conscienceness?" philosophy hunts.
Less HAL (or Deep Thought) and more Pinocchio (or Astro Boy)!
Screed

Good point.

20 years tops for robots that can live autonomously.
Yeah I used to say things like that.........about 20 years ago. This age has some pretty interesting things but the future just isn't quite what we thought it would be. I think it'll happen. It'll just be awhile before it does.

Asimov's three laws of robotics:
1. A robot can not, under any circumstances, hurt a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey all human commands unless those commands conflict with the Law number 1.
3. A robot cannot allow itself to come to harm unless if conflicts with Law number 1 or Law number 2..
