“Like human”
Yes, like a very, very robotic, unnatural human.
Almost like a robot.

While it seems spooky having a whole body twitching, I do appreciate the research being done.

I think we should be excited about these things. Mainly because research like this will lead to better prosthetic limbs for those who need them. We don’t need Terminators or Robomaids, but we do need more natural robotic arms and legs for those in need.

Someone on reddit had the idea that people working on this thing are probably recording audio logs onto individual USB-sticks, which they then leave scattered all over the facility.

Ummm…. Nobody wants this. Rosie Jetson is the ideal household helper.

not creepy at all… hey what’s that flash disk lying on the table

A 500-watt electric pump serves as the robot’s “heart,” pushing fluid at 40 standard liters per minute.

As usual, when you read the article you stumble upon a gigantic technical hurdle. 😕

EDIT: And I’m not against the technology. I’m all for prosthetics and humanoid robots for menial work.

Just imagine the possibilities if full human-pike prosthetics are developed. Think of people who have lost their arms or legs, suddenly being able to walk again.

(And of course, applied robotics for sex bots 😉)

Leave it to humans to build a robot for the purpose of lynching it.

We don’t deserve Earth.

You know, it was super creepy until I got to the video without a soundtrack and found out they sound like farts.

Getting strong RE4 vibes

When I clicked on the video I was expecting nightmare fuel, but seemed more like …

“At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus”

We really are obsessed with replicating any and all sci-fi cautionary tales, aren’t we?

They really did go for the “horror movie about to go very wrong” aesthetic when they made those videos, didn’t they.
