Killer Robots

I just watched a video of a robot doing Tae Kwon Do. We’re so screwed.

There’s an article at Hack-A-Day that shows an actual carnivorous robot. Someone please tell me I’m being punked.

I just watched a video of a friggen robot make sushi. Dear, God…

Seriously?
SERIOUSLY?!@?

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.

The Japanese always try to make the robots look cool, just look at the names they’ve picked for this one. But really, this thing’s just one step closer to cyborgs.

Is it me, or does this look like a hybrid of RoboCop and Voltron characters?

Scientists in Japan have invented a self-aware baby robot seal that reacts to human voice and touch. They insist it helps “heal” the elderly. I’m convinced this is a recon team.

Only yesterday did a robot make it’s first scientific discovery, and I was wondering how fast these things would learn. It looks like my questions have been answered since a computer has now discovered the laws of physics on its own. Looks like we’re in for quite a ride, humans.

I would have to say the title of this post speaks for it self. Sometimes saying WTF just isn’t enough. Here’s a link to the article…

Just imagine being a tribal Afghan and seeing one of these things cresting a hill in front of you.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Forward operating agent “nicole” submitted a story about iPods being controlled by facial expressions. That’s all fine until you get to the part about a device that “monitors natural movements of the face in everyday life and accumulates data”. Awesome, an iPod that learns…
