In the 2004 film, iRobot, Will Smith's character must stop an army of robots from outnumbering humans and taking over the world. While the film was merely fictitious, new research suggests that robots really could exceed humans one day. Scientists have now invented new software which allows humans to control multiple robots, which they fear will one day outnumber us. In the 2004 film, iRobot, Will Smith's character must stop an army of robots from outnumbering humans and taking over the world. The team from the University of Texas created a new software that integrates humanoid robots and web-based tele-operation to provide humanoid robotic learners more access to the hardware.
