Army Mechanic’s Garage Tinkering Yields 18-Foot Mecha Exoskeleton,
27 hydraulic cylinders bring the Mecha to life, its movements matching those of the person inside it.

Yes, now scientists are cooking up ways to teach robots to
walk on water!

No, I’m not kidding. Walk on freaking water!
The only guy I ever heard of doing this was considered pretty freaking special, but no, let’s figure out how to get robots to do it.

A robot that can walk on water: such a miracle is one step closer to reality, thanks to some new research that learns from the work nature has done with water striders. Walking on water may seem like a superpower and the name scientists have give the property of the striders’ legs is fitting: super-hydrophobia.

Super-hydrophobic legs repel water, and it is exactly this super property that scientists have tried to simulate with a (you guessed it) supercomputer. Professor of Chemistry at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Xiao Cheng Zeng worked together with colleagues — and the supercomputer — at Japan’s RIKEN Institute, Takahiro Koishi, Shigenori Fujikawa, and Toshikazu Ebisuzaki and Kenji Yasuoka of Keio University.

Super hero powers: Robots – 1, Humans – 0
Thanks guys!

In what universe is this a good idea? Let’s make humans food for robots! Freaking vampire robots, that’s what we need!

I think I saw this movie. It was called ‘The Matrix’.

Yeast cells feeding on the glucose in human blood might one day power implants such as pacemakers. A living source of power that is able to regenerate itself would eliminate the need for regular operations to replace batteries.
A team at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has created tiny microbial fuel cells by encapsulating yeast cells in a flexible capsule. They went on to show the fuel cells can generate power from a drop of human blood plasma.

Honda succeeded in analyzing such thought patterns, and then relaying them as wireless commands for Asimo, its human-shaped robot.

So the plan is we’ll need to fight mind reading robots.
Tin foil hats for everyone.
