Robots are getting better, and scarier

Im gonna have nightmares about AT-ATs walking down the street killing everyone now, or the future scenes on the terminator films

See the two bits where the guys kick it, and the fucker keeps itself standing?

Awesome. One of my clients is a big automation company and the stuff they can get robots to do now is just awesome with vision sensing, force feedback and softfloat.

Even the latest LEGO Mindstorms set is really impression, ultrasonic sensing and feeback motors.

Rate gyro`s and accelerometers.......It knows exactly where it is at all times and how quick it needs to respond to stop a fall...
