Whoa, that's actually kind of terrifying!

Well, I won't be watching the Olympics next time. Does that make me a robotist?

We are very close – lots of ethical and moral questions

What amazes me is the lack of wiring/cables. Just 4-5 years ago, they could only get this thing to walk with umbilical cords attached. Now…

What could possibly go wrong?

Between the increasing abilities of robots and the increasing use of implanted or attached mechanical devices for humans we are are on the precipice of of a new age. For good or ill remains to be seen.

From my current job, down the hall, make the second right, then the first left, second office on the right.

The inhibitors to doing this today depend on what you mean by "robot".

"Perfect '10'"

Converting from binary, the score is actually decimal '2'…

Sooner than later I think we will see 'bots filling slots in Infantry Squads, etc. I know as both an Inf PL and later Co Cdr I would have liked a few T-2s in each Sqd. evil grin

However, even now we see tracked ground 'bots and drones being using almost daily in military units.
