“Artificial chromosomes” that will allow robots to feel lusty, and could eventually lead to them reproducing?

That’s what South Korean professor Kim Jong-Hwan, director of the ITRC-Intelligent Robot Research Centre, hopes to develop to make robots more human-like.

Kim said: “Robots will have their own personalities and emotion and — as films like I Robot warn — that could be very dangerous for humanity. If we can provide a robot with good — soft — chromosomes, they may not be such a threat.”
