Right. Like that's going to happen in the near future.

The Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) said Thursday that it will channel a total of 100 billion won ($90 million) through 2013 in the seven crucial segments of education, water supply, manufacturing, firefighting, national defense, medical care and agriculture.
“We are poised to pour 30 billion won this year alone into the seven sectors as well as encouraging innovative research on robots, which marks a substantial increase in support compared to the past,” an MKE official said. |
They're already developing educational robots. Manufacturing robots have been around for a long time. Now they're starting on the agricultural robots. So, I guess the firefighting, national defense and medical robots should be on the production line soon. I wonder if those will be controlled by a computer operator in the Philippines also.
