Defend Yourself Against The Coming Robot Rebellion, Post-Gazette
 









Excerpts:     "Any machine could rebel, from a toaster to a Terminator," says
CMU roboticist Daniel H. Wilson, in his satirical new book.     "Any robot could
rebel, from a toaster to a Terminator, and so it is crucial to learn the
strengths and weaknesses of every robot enemy," author Daniel H. Wilson warns in
"How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming
Rebellion."  What makes the book cool -- and unlike some other survival books --
is that Wilson is an actual roboticist, who got his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon
last month. While his scenarios are outlandish -- describing attacks by humanoid
robots, some of them with creepy tails, some that can climb walls or swim -- the
research on how to build and attack the robot creatures is quite real.
