Dresden Codak: Comic of Science

Dresden Codak is a web comic described by its author, Aaron Diaz, as a "celebration of science, death, and human folly". The HOB Series specifically deals with robots, so I think you may enjoy it.


Some of the Science in the comic includes:


Foglets: Nano-Technology robots that combine together to create just about whatever. The original paper on Foglets and Utility Fog is here.


Strong AI: Artificial Intelligence that can improve itself. Wikipedia link here.


Technological Singularity: The moment when the exponential technological advancement curve goes nuts.


Along with new ideas such as Time Colonists, Historical Pre-enactments, and so on.

PS. The included link takes you to the first page of the HOB Series of this comic. It starts off a bit slow, but picks up about four comics in. Enjoy.
