Hallo Everyone,
i got my rovio today, just about 10 minutes ago delivered by amazon. I am really excited. Here is my plan. I would like to use the rovio
as a master of swarm intelligence bot to control the other robots(for example i-sobot).
Did some of you plan to do the same thing? oder did you succeed to manage it? Can i use the infrared sensors in rovio to send command to the other bots, or do i need to hack rovio to make a infrared transmitter?
i would be very happy to get same support form you before my start.

Here are the laws about robots.
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4. A robot can not control other robot(s). This prevents conflict of the First, Second and Third laws.
I think there are more laws I just can't remember them right now.
Hallo Cowboyctx,
it is turely an ethical discussion. I am sure the robots in the robots laws are the autonomous robots. I did think about my idea for a long time. I didn't find any conflicts with the robots laws, because neither rovio nor the other bots (i-sobot, wowwee bots) are autonomous robots. It is just like you build a drone spaceship, and the ship should also control the drones. Since rovio don't have arms, it can be fun to let him command the other none autonomous bots.
You have a valid point. I just hope the world does not end if you complete your project. It can be dangerous when you let machines control other machines. This could be the beginning of Skynet.
