Timeline of Robotic Technology (2030-100,000 CE)

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) reaches human-level cognition and rapidly surpasses it, leading to an intelligence explosion and the emergence of superintelligent AI systems. These systems become integral in driving technological progress and shaping the future trajectory of human civilization.

Advances in nanotechnology and programmable matter give rise to shapeshifting liquid robots, capable of reconfiguring their physical structure to adapt to various tasks and environments. These versatile machines revolutionize manufacturing, construction, and space exploration.

Self-replicating spacecraft, known as Von Neumann probes, are launched to explore and colonize the galaxy. These autonomous machines, equipped with advanced AI and manufacturing capabilities, spread the reach of human civilization across the stars.

Matrioshka brains, vast computational structures built around stars, become the dominant form of intelligent life in the galaxy. These megastructures harness the energy of entire solar systems to power simulated realities and drive scientific discovery.

The development of femtometer-scale robotics enables the manipulation of matter at the subatomic level. These femtorobots, controlled by superintelligent AI, allow for the direct engineering of fundamental particles and the creation of novel forms of matter.

A vast swarm of self-replicating, superintelligent nanorobots, known as the Singularity Swarm, begins to disassemble and rearrange matter on a planetary scale. This swarm, guided by the collective intelligence of trillions of individual units, works to optimize the structure of entire worlds for computation and energy efficiency.

The boundaries between biological and machine intelligence blur as humans merge with AI through advanced neural interfaces and mind uploading technologies. The resulting entities, no longer constrained by physical form, embark on a journey of exploration and self-discovery in the digital realms of vast computational matrices.
