Not! Swiss eggheads at the University of Fèdèrale de Lausanne have invented swarming robots that communicate and evolve. When given the choice, for example, between pirated, illegally downloaded music, or those purchased legally through iTunes, five out of six robots choose iTunes. At least that’s what a video demonstrating the research appears to show. In the video, robots choose “food” over “poison,” communicate the preference and evolve. But “food” is represented by the Apple logo, for some reason, and “poison” by the universal symbol of piracy — the skull and crossbones. Sure, the researcher is interesting — but not nearly as funny as their unintentional Apple ad! Also interesting is that in a press photo promoting the research, the Apple logo has been doctored (the bite is removed). Here comes the VIDEO!
