Autonomous robots can act on their own, independent of any controller. The basic idea is to program the robot to respond a certain way to outside stimuli. The very simple bump-and-go robot is a good illustration of how this works. This sort of robot has a bumper sensor to detect obstacles. When you turn the robot on, it zips along in a straight line. When it finally hits an obstacle, the impact

I love all the future tech shown in the movie (except for the destructive weapons, I'm a peacenik) especially the hand-gesture sensitive computer and the hologram with the visible virtual recycle bin. And the reactor heart? The centre piece of it all. I love all the tech details in the movie. Awesome. Some of my friends compared it with the Transformer movie which IMHO, is not that great movie at all. Iron Man is better because it's a more focused movie whereas Transformer is just big on hype.Talking about robotics, watch Astro Boy on Astro Ceria (Wow, two Astros!)
