> Fewer robots, more humans

Exactly the opposite of what they should be funding..

[spauldo]

Personally, I prefer more of both. You have to actually do things - as in, develop the engineering, test things, see what works and what doesn't - to advance the state of the art. We need robots for science, humans for engineering.

Why?

[IAmBroom]

IMO, because robots can replace humans in dangerous and highly undesirable jobs, while increasing overall productivity.

I too welcome the rise of the terminator and its fellow machine overlords
