You are very welcome. Here is a great long term plan with robots:

Japan Dreams of Robot Moon Base in 2025

Advanced humanoid robots could take over mining, telescope-building chores for humans.

TOKYO -- Japan wants to help build a lunar base and populate it with advanced versions of today's humanoid robots by around 2025, according to the head of the nation's space agency.

The idea is more than a pipe-dream; it is part of a 20-year plan, called JAXA Vision 2025, that was drawn up by Keiji Tachikawa, a former president of Japan's largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo, who is now president of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA).

With so many robots working as a swarm imagine what would happen if they were on Windows and something went wrong ?

Wow! Thats nice! He, it would be litle too dangerous if lunar spacestation full of droids would use windows. Moon would crash at least once a day :)

Assume these robots malfunction on Earth before take off or during take off !!! What a hazard it would be !

Heh :)
But there is one good thing the robots most certanly won't be able to take over the world, even if they try they will crash and thats that

Not on Linux, they are not going to crash. There is a good chance that Robots might take over, if not atleast come very close.

Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1.

Just like man moved beyond transistors etc., to chips, I believe the time has come for man to move from the generation of PCs/Linux to something beyond. We are going to see developments in this regard in the future.
