New Delhi: We humans have created Robots and we all wish to have a robot who can work for us as in this era we are very much dependent on machine. But have you ever imagined Robots to have sex and able to produce babies too,now you will be surprised to know that ,in future robots will also able to indulge in sex.Artificial intelligence expert George Zarkadakis believes that robots could have sex with each other to evolve and produce superior offspring with in next 30 years. Zarkadakis predicts that humans could even breed with machines to create new hybrid species.Zarkadakis said robots that are both silicon and carbon based, could have sex at a molecular level to produce offspring - although how this could happen is unclear.He also mentioned that if robots could have sex, it would defend them from computer viruses and make them more robust.Mr Zarkadakis is not the only expert who has predicted this to happen, there are other researchers too who have given clues of this being happening in the nearest future.According to a report published in Daily Mail, Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at Sheffield University believes that that the future of artificial intelligence could be silicon and carbon-based, with digital brains in charge of organic molecular structures, he told MailOnline that robots would probably print off their offspring, much like a 3D printer can currently be used today.He mentioned that there might not be any need to look at molecules as robots can be ‘bred' by swapping software so that the code used to make robots perform certain tasks particularly well, can be combined to create a ‘child'.Another professor Kevin Warwick from the Institution of Engineering and Technology told MailOnline that robots are already good at producing new robots, which are often better than themselves. Machines breeding with each other - mixing genetically and technologically - could ensure that their ‘good bits' come together.
