This summer's hit "Matrix Reloaded" continues a frequent movie theme about computerized machines that are so advanced they actually think and end up taking over the world.

The idea isn't as fanciful as it seems. Researchers at Michigan State University are working on artificially intelligent robots that are able to think, or at least learn from experiences, much as human children do.

I seem to recall one of these guys saying that their robots were roughly as intelligent as cockroaches.

Not exactly learning like children.

Are you mixing MSU up with Ohio State?
