RSSSelf-replicating Robots (video)
Google video of the self-replicating robots at Cornell - "One
of the dreams of both science fiction writers and practical robot
builders has been realized, at least on a simple level: Cornell
University researchers have created a machine that can build copies of
itself. Admittedly the machine is just a proof of concept -- it
performs no useful function except to self-replicate -- but the basic
principle could be extended to create robots that could replicate or at
least repair themselves while working in space or in hazardous
environments" Link.
