Scientists To Build Robot Village

Scientists in Dundee have announced plans to create a "robot village" in an effort to learn how different cultures emerge in society.

The University of Abertay's four-year study will feature about 60 miniature robots who will be organised into groups and programmed to interact.

The project team plans to observe the robots to see how they behave together.

The university will undertake the study along with five other institutions across the UK.

Scientists say the robots will be organised into groups or "villages" and told to observe then copy each other's behaviour in different situations.

Interesting way the robots are going to be allowed to self develop.
By learning more than 1 robots behaviour pattern and incorporating it to its own it is possible for one of the robots to continue to behave in unique way and evolve sort of randomly.

Is this how CI will eventually evolve, until it can be classed as a self adapting , aware lifeform?????
