“One of my fondest robot memories is of a gorgeous 1971 hydraulic arm at Marvin Minsky’s MIT AI lab at Technology Square {in Cambridge, Mass.} that reached back under computer control and ripped out its own shoulder. Since then Massachusetts robots have overcome their suicidal tendencies and developed caring personalities, military and industrial applications, online avatars, and are even vacuuming rugs.’’
