A Fully Autonomous Robot Builds Its Own Brain and Learns from Scratch

on robot skin...it will be interesting to see the possibilities for the use of the robot skin on prosthetics for humans. an experiment was already done in which a monkey successfully operated a robot arm through the microchip implanted in it's brain. if the robot skin could communicate to the wearer's brain, if a two way form of communication could be made, i guess "handicapped" people would need a new word to describe their situation...possibly "cyberized", i don't know. i imagine that porn will actually take advantage of this new technology as well, creating a whole new genre of cyborg porn. add another fetish to the alt.binaries list. new ethical questions would also arise...would it be okay to amputate a perfectly healthy limb if the patient requested it, just so that patient could replace it with a robot limb? for solely cosmetic and aesthetic purposes?
