self recognition
When a robot sees itself in the mirror, would it think (A) what am I seeing? (B)is that another robot? Or (C), is that me?
First of all it needs to be aware of itself, without a mirror. Personally I'm not happy about robots thinking for themselves. It is a lot safer if they are told what to do and do only that. Autonomous drones come to mind, roaming the skies, looking for cars to shoot at.I'm not just thinking Afghanistan or Pakistan. These drones will shortly be filling the skies in America, looking for dissidents (i.e. anybody who doesn't agree with the government)
