MIT researchers are building autonomous, self-replicating robots

A robot capable of replicating itself autonomously is a scary prospect. At least, that's what Arnold Schwarzenegger and Terminator taught us. We are still quite far from building such robots, but we might be closer than you'd imagine. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on robots that can self-assemble and build almost anything. Their research has yielded positive results so far.
