How to Escape a Robot Uprising
See what you're missing by not having a free sub to the Post?

Good luck fighting the robots.

I'll be in the clear.

Suckers.

"I went and asked a lot of robotics researchers (roboticists) how they would escape from their robots. The number one reply was, "I would walk away slowly."

"Robots have no emotions -- sensing your fear can stir feelings of jealousy, resulting in a white-hot robot rage."

"Daniel H. Wilson: ROBOT VS. ROBOT ZOMBIE: WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT?

Well, "robot" is vague. Are we talking a skyscraper-sized behemoth with thousands of whipping, shredding razor-wire arms? Let's assume we're talking about a humanoid robot vs. a robo-zombie.

This fight is going to be good. The zombie will function in the event of massive failure, and may even reanimate after being torn apart by it's opponent -- who, after all, is a merciless, methodical metal man.

On the other hand, could a single squishy zombie pull apart the titanium-laced carapace of an atomic-powered killbot?

ANSWER: ONE ON ONE THE ROBOT WINS, HOWEVER, ZOMBIES USUALLY ATTACK IN GROUPS..."
