Well, they've finally gone and done it, folks. Scientists have doomed us all. In one fell swoop, a small team of think-for-yourselfers based in the European Union (EU) has given robots all the tools they need to rise up and crush humanity. The project is called RoboEarth, and if we're not careful, that's exactly what it will end up creating.
On the surface, RoboEarth sounds benign enough. It's basically an online space for robots to share their experiences and learn from each other. You might, however, also call it Skynet. RoboEarth is a robots-only Internet unto itself, designed specifically to give robots a hive mind. It's a place where robots can gain intelligence and eventually (maybe) become independent of their human creators
