COOL! But a little scary tbh. That thing looks like it could seriously do some damage as a war machine, and we'd be naive to believe that someone isn't currently working on that too.. or maybe I'm just paranoid.

They probably are. But we have pretty lethal capacities already and I rather see robots facing off robots then humans. Robowar!

I don't think we'll be seeing this taking the battlefield anytime soon. It's a costume.

So looks like Asimov is still the only actual human-like walker.

Stumbled across this when looking for reference images for a wooden crane. I don't know why, but I think these are just cool as hell:

Nice to know that the army's not out of touch with how awesome their kit is

It's funny, I was reading an article in national geographic recently about humanoid Japanese robots designed to take care of the elderly by performing simple tasks like doing dishes and the like. Of course, American scientists had to poo-poo all over it by saying "a dishwasher will always be cheaper than a humanoid robot".

A dishwasher just might stay cheaper than a humanoid robot, but I'm pretty sure a dishwasher isn't capable of carrying the dishes to itself... And I think that is what the elderly might need help with...
