Humans S01E03 & S01E04

July 08, 2015

Strap yourself in for a long one, as Steadman and Lee catch you up with
episodes 3 and 4 of Humans from Channel 4.

Headlines:

* Jumping robot uses a chemical reaction to move around without “hurting” itself.
* The US and Japan are going head-to-head in piloted robot wars!

Asimov's second law:

2, A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such
orders would conflict with the First Law:

A tool must perform its function efficiently unless this would harm the user.
This is the entire reason ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI devices)
exist. Any running tool will have its power cut if a circuit senses that some
current is not returning to the neutral wire, and hence might be flowing
through the user. The safety of the user is paramount.
