There are a lot of movies with artificially intelligent machines. Most of them have a human based anatomy. Whether it's in their head or chest they all have brains in their bodies. I was thinking, a robot, even an android does not necessarily need its' main computing unit (brain) in its' body. It must be the human look that makes us default to that the brain should be in the body.
I don't know of any theory like the following but, I think it would be better if the brain was separate from the body. I don't mean like super computer that is the leader of lesser computers. More like a hive mined.
My theory is that the robots would be programed to do basic functions that do not require intelligence. So, they would have instincts. The robots would also need superior networking capabilities. The idea is to have multiple robots constantly communicating with a artificially intelligent super computer (their brain). Having one brain for multiple machines would be cheaper, have easy maintenance, and have more information. The fall back would be the massive amounts of choices it would have to make at any given time. Coupled with the brain having to remember mass amounts of info. Over all I think it's better because, it seems this would be a cheaper choice. Building one mega-super computer would be cheaper then building thousands of super computers.
It's the same idea as random access memory(RAM) in your computer now. The CPU has caches of memory that is high quality. If all RAM was as fast as the CPUs' RAM it would be unfordable. So, cheaper but still efficient ram is made to do the bulk of the work, still keeping enough of the costly ram for fast processing.
If any one knows of a theory like this one, scientific or sci-fi, please let me know in the comments. I Robot, Terminator, and The Matrix are close to this idea. I don't think they count because, they still are missing the one brain aspect of this idea. I haven't seen Ghost In The Shell but from what I've heard it might be close.
