“An ethical code to prevent humans abusing
robots, and vice versa, is being drawn up by South Korea.” – BBC headline

Isaac Asimov vision
of the future may come true this year as the South Korean government plans to
release the first ever ethical code for robots.

"The government plans to set ethical
guidelines concerning the roles and functions of robots as robots are expected
to develop strong intelligence in the near future," the ministry of
Commerce, Industry and Energy said.

then the US. It is going to be interesting to watch. =/

Speaking of robots –
here are some cool pictures on the BBC developed by Japan. Sample below:
