A robot that thinks for itself would likely depend not just on advances in robotics but also in mathematics, computer engineering, biology and psychology.So some engineers think we'll see specialist robots before truly intelligent ones arrive. Scientists aren't even sure how it works in our own brains, much less in artificial ones. IBM's Watson uses huge data sets to get better at everything from making medical recommendations to preparing tax returns.SEE MORE: What Can 'Star Wars' Droids Teach Us About Building Better Robots?But we haven't cracked true self-awareness yet. ![]() Some quadcopters know when their batteries get low. If they know enough about their environments - like 'food is stored in the fridge,' for example - we can hold basic conversations.Robots with hands or feet can understand where their limbs are. We can give robots commands to walk around or sit down. They look a bit like C-3PO or get around like R2-D2.And we're starting to communicate with machines using natural human language. And they represent a future for robotics that we might achieve someday.We already see aspects of 'Star Wars' robots in today's machines. Droids like C-3P0 and R2-D2 are capable of independent thought and spontaneous problem-solving. In some ways, the robots of 'Star Wars' are closer to humans than machines. ![]()
