Will artificial organism with advanced group intelligence evolve?
Swarm robotics is a field of study based on the supposition that simple, individual robots can interact and collaborate to form a single artificial organism with more advanced group intelligence.
As a part of an international collaboration dubbed the "Symbiotic Evolutionary Robot Organisms" project, or "Symbrion" for short, researchers are developing an artificial immune system which can protect both the individual robots that form part of a swarm, as well as the larger, collective organism.
The aim of the project is to develop the novel principles behind the ways in which robots can evolve and work together in large 'swarms' so that - eventually - these can be applied to real-world applications. The swarms of robots are capable of forming themselves into a 'symbiotic artificial organism' and collectively interacting with the physical world using sensors.
The multi-robot organisms will be made up of large-scale swarms of robots, each slightly larger than a sugar cube, which can dock with each other and share energy and computing resources within a single artificial-life-form. The organisms will also be able to manage their own hardware and software, they will be self-healing and self organizing.

This sounds a lot like the "Replicators" from Stargate.

im sorry for tech-heads out there but i have always been fearful of robotic intelligence. i'd be like spooner from I, Robot. I feel that since they are not like us they will never inhabit the same emotions as us. therefore, i hate all forms of artificial intelligence in robotic lifeforms

"an omni-linked world populated with intelligent artifacts will bring sweeping changes to virtually every facet of modern life – from science and education to industry and commerce – leaving no segment of society unaffected by its advance." *~ love society
"Synergy is the only word in our language that means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the separately observed behaviors of any of the system's separate parts or any subassembly of the system's parts. There is nothing in the chemistry of a toenail that predicts the existence of a human being."
*~R. Buckminster Fuller -

Hell is full of good desires.
[1574 E. Hellowes tr. Guevara's Epistles 205]It is a saying among Divines, that Hell is full of good Intentions, and Meanings.
[1654 R. Whitlock Observations on Manners of English 203]It is a true saying,‘Hell is paved with good intentions’.
[1736 Wesley Journal 10 July (1910) I. i. 246]I shall have nothing to hand in, except intentions,—what they say the road to the wrong place is paved with.
[1847 J. A. Froude Shadows of Clouds ix.]The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
[1855 H. G. Bohn Hand-Book of Proverbs 514]‘I'm sorry if I made things a mess with you and Yolanda. But I'll have you know that I had nothing but good intentions.’ ‘They say, “The road to ruin is paved with good intentions.”‥and you keep making potholes.’

if they don't reproduce they can't evolve... but yeah this might be a bad idea.
-
really, aren't we just biological computers/robots? seems sometimes like we are re-tracing steps already taken in another time/place
-
I sometimes wonder whether our government has formed a symbrionic artificial intelligence.
