Advances now being explored in American universities and research laboratories could lead to the creation of machines capable of walking, improvising tasks and seeing (some robots can already do this crudely, through computerized video cameras). By then, the robots' masters may have learned how to exploit their wondrous inventions without falling into the kind of painful doldrums that now afflict...
