Robotics - a machine that simulate INTELLIGENT LIVING THINGS' MOVEMENT. In other words, it responsible on simulating something physically.

Actually, I think that movies like Terminator serve as warnings to us. You see, AI are getting more and more intelligent. Even human chess players can't beat the super computer AI chess player any more. Well, of course, why worry? It is only chess right? But you see, can chess be considered a kind of virtual war game? Since Ai can master this virtual war game so well, who dare to guarantee that one day later AI will not master the technics of realistic wars? If their intelligence really achieve to that extent, we humans are doomed. What were showed in Terminator will happen to this world. Without us realizing, we are depending more and more to AI in our daily lifestyle. Of course, scientists make more and more intelligent AI to work for us humans to ease our burdens. It seems that their intelligence is directly proportional to our cosy lifestyle. Let us see the relation. Humans are smarter than buffaloes, hence buffaloes work for humans. AI are not smarter than humans (yet), hence AI (still) work for humans. But, what happens when AI is smarter than humans. Do you think they will still be working for us? Or vice versa?
From wikipedia: Intelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, TO THINK ABSTRACTLY, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn.
A.I. can't think, they just follow the algorithms and rules coded and execute it. So, A.I. can never be smarter than human or any other creature in the universe.
Added on August 7, 2009, 9:23 amFor me, A.I. and robotics are both serve as tools that helps human solve their problems.
Scientist will always argue on something stupid and invent or come out with something new from the argument.
Engineer will apply the new proven research from the scientist (not all the time, of course) on something that is useful in life or industry.
Without scientist most probably the progress on improvement of technology will be slowed down while without engineer all the invention from the scientist is just a waste.
So, scientist that argue on making a 100% human intelligence might seems silly but other than that, they most probably found lots of other interesting knowledge that will really helps in improving human's life.
