Two scientists programmed a bunch of robots to play hide & seek. What they're researching is how to make the hiding robot "deceive" the hunters.

Great, now we're not only going to have robots that will hunt us down and kill us, but they'll be able to hide and cover their own tracks so we'll have NO EFFING CLUE where they're coming from!.

/facepalm

"The hider's set of false communications was defined by selecting a pattern of knocked over markers that indicated a false hiding position," explains Wagner.

This fiendish plan apparently fooled the hunter droids 75 per cent of the time.

"

We have developed algorithms that allow a robot to determine whether it should deceive a human or other intelligent machine and we have designed techniques that help the robot select the best deceptive strategy to reduce its chance of being discovered

," says Arkin, proudly.

"

We strongly encourage discussion about the appropriateness of deceptive robots to determine what, if any, regulations or guidelines should constrain the development of these systems

," adds the prof.

Do they ever consider the "what if" factor when they program these?
