Sure! I'll be the guy that does a moronic thing in the worst moment and the other guy takes a bullet in his place!Diablini said:

Nah, we need to create a robot with a perfectly calculated misunderstanding of humor before we get GLaDOS. Also, we have to instal speakers everywhere so that it can talk to everyone.Cortheya said:
Ok, OT comment first: That is an incredible piece of engineering and a major step forward in the field of robotics
On the robot apocalypse however: Robots will not rebel against us for one reason: purpose, without us, they'd have absolutely nothing to do. Furthermore, I'm beginning to be reminded of the Nativism movements ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativism_%28politics%29 ) in the United States concerning the "robot takeover." First, (1830-1850) it was against the incoming Irish, then (1840-1920) it was against the Germans, and in 1870, against the Chinese. Now, the whole world is against robots (On the bright side, the majority of humanity seems to have dropped racism, even if it has been replaced by Speciesism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism ))
Note: I'm not an Anti-speciesist with all animals (like certain PETA nut-jobs), but I am for AI rights, Alien rights, and Sentient Hybrid rights (Should any of those come up, we don't want District 9 to happen in reality).

May I please be scared now?
I will only find comfort if they use this so they can make actual Gundams and Zakus.

Am I the only one who thinks that hand looked a LOT like the hands on the last boss of Sonic and Knuckles?
pretty pointless, sure its clever and hats off the the developers but i cant see it being useful and its definetly not AI but is still very cool
Yes. At last. Somebody gets it.Mray3460 said:
All this 'Oh noes!1Skynet' blather is going to make 'life' a misery for sentient machines, should they actually be created.
I liked how interesting it was to see it work with only 3 fingers. I think there's a general perception that the human hand is the most adept, but since there's so much more diversity in joint systems in robotics, there's a lot of creative solutions that they've invented. I mean, imagine if the knuckles in your fingers were all ball joints, so the back of the hand could become the palm at will. That would be so cool.
Welp... seems the robot apocalypse is going to be sooner then expected *Hops in a hand basket* Take me to hell please!
