Lingodroid Robots Develop Their Own Language, Quietly Begin Plotting Against Mankind

(Via)
Robot's learning English, Japanese, or any other language that we humans have already mastered is not a new concept. A pair of robot who can create there own language? The science world has started s***ing bricks.
Created by Ruth Schulz and her team of researchers at the University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology, each of these so-called Lingodroids constructed their special language after navigating their way through a labyrinthine space.

The Lingobots created spatial maps of their surroundings, with the help of on-board cameras, laser range finders and sonar equipment that helped them avoid walls. They also created words for each mapped location, using a database of syllables. With the mapping complete, the robots would reconvene and communicate their findings to each other, using mounted microphones and speakers.

Schulz is now looking to teach her bots how to express more complex ideas. The rest of the world will be preparing for the coming of Skynet.
