1.
Advanced Intelligence
A
robot will be able to calculate better and faster, have superior pattern recognition skills, unlimited attention spans, and infallible memory. A robotic
brain could be designed to excel at any number of arbitrary tasks; this is
because robots are built with advanced technology system.
2.
The ability of Mass Production and Self-Replication
It's easier to build robots than it is to make humans.
Currently, robots have to be designed and constructed by us, but that's set to
change with the introduction of fully automated systems capable of
manufacturing other robots on an assembly line. While still in its primitive
stages, researchers at the Modular Robotics Lab at the University of
Pennsylvania have already developed a
robot that can build other robots with spray foam. Robots of the future
will also be capable of reproduction, or what mathematician John von Neumann
referred to as kinematic
self-replicating machines. Researchers are
the University of Oslo have already developed squirming
three-limbed starfish-bots who
can produce their own parts and adapt to novel environments, and Matt Denton at
Robosavvy has developed a
hexapod robot equipped with a cutting tool enabling it to fashion various
machine parts — including,
conceivably, its own parts.
3. They Reduce Energy Needs
Robots
will likely exert a smaller ecological footprint than humans and require fewer
resources to function. This will allow them to become far more productive and
cost-effective. And since
robots won't need to eat or breathe, they won't have to worry about preserving
the environment and so will be able to cheaply dump their industrial waste.
4. Easy to Upgrade
Robots will
also have improved access to their internal physical and cognitive states.
It'll be easy for us to upgrade robots, but they'll eventually be able to do it
themselves. Consequently, robots will improve faster than humans and adapt
quicker to new environments and hurdles.
