With the start of industrialization, began the period wherein the toughness, the brute force and power of a man were no more considered precious. Machinery took the place of a hard working man on a physical plane. It led to a generation, where the big burly muscles were worth only for a stage show and an unnecessary component in every day life.
As we have moved from an age of physical slavery and oppression, we have moved into a more subtle age, where the air is filled with voices of physical freedom. A deceptive voice with a more severe form of slavery as a goal, the mental oppression.
Robots which were originally finding their role as a replacement of human's physical force are starting to find their place on mental and emotional levels. Various efforts to Reverse engineer the human brain has been carried out. Researcher Jeffrey Krichmer, a Professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences, University of California talks on reverse engineering the brain to program the robots to be more neurotic, thereby making human like decisions. In a time when humans have stopped behaving like humans, robot have come for a rescue to show forth what human behavior is.
