Please Welcome Our New Robot Overlords

So something really nifty (any possbibly scary) has happened. Scientists at the Cornell University in Ithaca, New York have created small robots that can build copies of themselves. Hellooooo The Matrix.

There’s no cause for alarm at this moment as the robots are very simple:

“Each robot consists of several 4-inch (10-centimeter) cubes that have identical machinery, electromagnets to attach and detach to each other and a computer program for replication. The robots can bend and pick up and stack the cubes.”

This is just the first step to the machine’s world domination!
