where are the robots going at the end?
so they got to the other side but what is there for them?
shareso they got to the other side but what is there for them?
shareThey are going into the wasteland which is too radiated for humans.
Although they should have demolished the cable going across the gorge to prevent any humans trying to follow them.
Can't wait for PART 2: RISE OF THE MACHINES (hmm I think they did it alrdy)
humans couldn't follow as the "boss robot" explained that it is too radioactive for humans. at the end when Cleo got to the other side you could see the craters from atomic bomb testings.
shareYes it is true. Yet, radioactive environment /like Chernobyl area or deep space/ is very devastative to machines and electronics. So, what would be the point for robots to live in such environment is still a mistery.
shareIt's easier to design radiation-hardened electronics than it is to protect humans from radiation. Or from vacuum or intense gravity, etc. Machines are our natural next evolutionary step.
shareSounds like you want machines to extermninate us. You traitor. You betray your own species. Hasta la vista, baby!
shareDuring the talk with Banderas when he is standing over the canyon, the one Robot says that they are going to the other end of the canyon where humans tested nukes in the past. The radiation levels there coupled with the already irradiated surface will prevent humans from following them for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years.

> so they got to the other side but what is there for them?
As others have said, they were going there so that man couldn't follow.
But, I'm not sure what will happen. They can't really reproduce. Oh, we saw that the robots were able to build a new robot, but they had a lot of spare parts and a nuclear battery. On the other side of the canyon, they have nothing but rocks and dirt. That's not enough stuff to work with.

I think cleo said that that the creepy insect robot they created breeds, like jacq.
She could have said breathes, but i think it was breed. It was a mother robot i think, that will somehow make more mini robots, and they will probably build a city, advance, and continue on evolving.
Thorn; she said "breathes", not breeds.
share1) There are varying degrees and types of radiation (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Ionizing, Non-Ionizing...). The area around the planet Jupiter is rife with radiation which would be unhealthy for a human, but we have robotic probes orbiting and passing through with very little problems. As long as they are properly shielded and can error-correct, they're fine. Given the hazardous environments in which the Pilgrims were meant to work, it's conceivable that the wasteland was radioactive enough to kill any human foolish enough to venture there for more than a few hours, but that the robots could survive indefinitely.
2) Given their indicated advanced and accelerating intelligence, the robots could probably build up and create an industry for the production of more robots within years. Mankind started by just sharpening stones, and advanced to modern semiconductors. The largest challenges would be accumulating necessary resources (solar and wind power are plentiful, but locating and extracting certain elements requires a level of metallurgy that may take months for the robots to automate), and avoiding any irreparable damage in the process. The worst risk to the robots, given only two of them, would be getting crushed under a rock. Once they managed to build up a few dozen of themselves, they would essentially be unstoppable.
Adding to the other answers, remember that (as said by the CEO) in a matter of 9 days the robot basically evolved beyond human understanding. Maybe where they're going they will find a way to harness the radioactivity into a form of energy for themselves and maybe there are abandoned vehicles and buildings which they can use. Also, it is said that the area on the other side of the canyon is nuked and fatal for humans but maybe not "all" the area ahead, maybe just the first immediate thousand miles or so.
shareThey were heading for stupidity.
Robots are not equipped for protection against radiation any more than humans. The robots in this film were mainly domestic models with open chassis. Are you going to tell me the designers made all the wires hanging out of them radiation proof?
Not even the most hardy robot can withstand radiation hot zones. NONE.
REAL FACT Fukushima is now in full meltdown. None of the bots they ever sent near it have survived more than a few minutes. Fukushima along with Chernobyl will be hot and deadly for hundreds of years. HUNDREDS. For humans, with our limited capacity to judge time, that might as well be forever.
So if the zone these stupid robots were running off to was as hot as Fukushima and Chernobyl, well then they will be offline within a day after seeing off Antonio and his radiation proof baby.
Yes, Cleo would probably die within a day, but you didn't see how the baby robot was constructed. Keep in mind that it was not made by humans, it was made by the very first robot who, in the first 8-9 days, had gone far past human intelligence. So considering the fact that he wanted it to go into a radiation hot zone, he would probably have thought about making it radiation-proof before sending it off.
Remember the quote by the blonde scientist about a robot breaking it's protocol?
"If you try to change the protocols, you destroy the biokernel. It's kind of like trying to keep a soapbubble in your pocket. No one has ever done it before because you simply can't".
No human has managed to build a robot strong enough to go into FUkushima or Chernobyl, because we are just not intelligent enough to do it yet.
Power does not corrupt, it only fuels the corruption that already exists. -Barriss Offee
Funny thing Chernobyl is full of wildlife now cause humans don't go there so they can thrive by themselves. The radiation level may be deadly for humans not as in they would die immediately but after some time, either way no one would follow them.
shareI'll bet it's the Forbidden Zone from Planet of the Apes!
