    robot firemen who just walk into flaming buildings and rescue people.

    I feels like robot will fries their chip and melt the wiring when they enter a building. It’s like when people imagine they can use robot to go into heavily irradiated area to survey and do repair, but turn out the radiation will just fry the chip. There’s still a lot more it can do though.

      It can be insulated to some extent, but yeah.

      We have chips that are radiation resistant, they’re just not general purpose. They’re used for things like voyager missions.
