Of course there are some test to run. But we shouldn’t be afraid of technology, we should embrace it.
Take for instance the factory line robot (like in the production of cars), after a few tweaks, a single robot can work flawlessly for years. You keep the system simple, maintain it constantly and it won’t crash. Finally an other key element of modern robots is the fail safe devices like redundancy and emergency shut off. The future is awesome, enjoy the ride.
People like me? Just because I don’t want to let a robot that could POTENTIALLY do other things due to a glitch or virus, pick me up? If it was just a robotic bed that could move around, fine.. But that robot has far too flexible arms.
I haven’t seen an OS with no problems yet, you assume the robot will have a flawless OS?
It would assemble itself from multiple swallowed segments. I think this prototype is much larger than the one intended for use inside people. Pretty much anything you can make large scale you can produce in microscale using photolithography to produce the parts. Google MEMS or Micro Electro Mechanical Systems
Surgery part amazing but human carrying Robot .. will struggle .. patient needs touch of another human, which lessen the pain it self .. Robot touch, i don’t know about that !!
What if the Robot drops the Patient? Who is liable- the Robot, or the Programmer, or the Nursing Staff? OR? This all is creating GREAT Medical Ethical and Legal problems. I like the prior comment from seedstyler below: ORWELL… Yes..I agree! Also the old song “In the Year 2525″ from Zagar and Evans is appropriate here. There is a YouTube with that song……check it out…..

Embracing technology is fine, but don’t blindly embrace killer robots with a kung-fu like death grip.

Hell. Even the robot’s creators don’t trust it fully. Did you notice that woman it picked up wasn’t very life-like?

No I will not let that robot pick me up! If it’s strong enough to pick up a human, then it’s strong enough to crumple the human up into a ball!

Manufacturer, unless operated with negligence by staff, in which case, staff. Like when any machine malfunctions. Not a big problem.
