As the ''machine'' is programmed, and supplied with vast amounts of connections at multiple layers of processing, and is exposed to massive amounts of stimulus material, it begins to ''think'' and ''perceive'' for itself.

In this week's edition of Time Magazine, an article entitled One Small Step traces the recent development of humanoid robots. Written by Lev Grossman, the article questions why we have such an obsession with human shaped machines.
