We have known for some time that the current design of processors for computers and through them Robots has a natural limit using what we call silicon chips. There power is supposed to double every 2 years but there is a natural limit to just how many we can place on a wafer of silicon.
So quantuam computers have been the way to go and if it actually gives us Robots like Asimov so described all the better. Especially when it has to be noted that we have useful and reasonbly competent other components. It has always been the Brain and giving a robot the ability to think that has kept the science of robotics back.
Bring on the Positronic brain!!!!!!!!

I think spacerep was just having some fun, planting a picture of Star Trek's Data at the head of the article.
At some point uncertainty will be a factor as to how small components can be.

Probably but data was supposed to be an android with a positronic brain and that could be an example of what could be done in the future.
Still a lot of work to be done but we are on our way at least.
