Thus, if it were just up to the Valley to elect a president, a computer robot would win the elections.
The computer robot would then suggest the most logical output based on mathematical computation that yielded the best results within a given time period, taking into account potential statistical probabilities for failures and unpredicted consequences.
If it was a race between Obama, Romney and a Silicon Valley robot computer, the Valley would overwhelmingly vote for the robot computer.
Put a computer in a robot body and it can walk from cubicle to cubicle handing out assignments, checking on progress, and adjusting schedules and budgets on the fly.
To emulate this kind of behaviour - albeit in a more simplistic fashion - Dr Rao and his team are developing a hierarchical brain-computer interface for controlling the robot.
Students showcased projects ranging from economically-viable algae biofuel to a robot that paints with watercolor to a computer program that improves cancer detection and many more.
Finally, we covered a set of incredible LEGO creations -- from a life-size Wall-E robot made from Lego Mindstorms to a computer built from plastic bricks and a series of amazing Lego animals that invaded the Bronx Zoo.

Computer scientist Maja Mataric, whose research was used in the Sojourner robot that went to Mars in 1997, confesses that what she really wanted to do was design shoes.
Taylor, professor of Computer Sciences at Johns Hopkins University have tried another tack by making a tiny snake-like robot go where endoscopes have gone before and focused on making a fully articulated tip.
Back then, program trading, computer robotic dealers caused an avalanche of selling that blew up the markets in a catastrophic vicious circle of robot trading.
Since the days of Alan Turing, the promise of a digital computer has been that of a universal machine, one that can be a word processor one minute and a robot brain the next.
