Wtf is this thing?

[hanselthecaretaker]

I doubt that thing could hunt anything yet, at that speed and that noise level.

 

[HAYEZ]

that is retarded..what the fuck is that suppose to do?

 

[UncleBee]

Thats thing is awesome. robotics especially in the animal mimicking sense have come a long way since R2D2

That is impressive actually, I liked how it kept it's balance when kicked.

For application purposes, it could enter and search in inaccessible mountain terrain.

That thing is creepy as hell. Good concept though

yeah, "as is" that thing ain't huntin nothin. Even if you put some machine guns on it, a good sniper round into the sensor banks will take care of it. "But", this is the prelude to the terminators.......seriously. I was very impressed by that things ability to stay on it's feet. In 10 years these things are going to be moving like wolves. If they've got the "balance" down right now, which is the hardest piece of the puzzle, than you're going to see two legged human mimicks in short order.

I wonder if Jim Cameron ever thinks about his Terminator franchise and says, "My God wtf have I done?!". I'd love to see those things roaming the streets among humans (not to kills us though of course). Could you imagine having a T-800 as your personal assistant/bodyguard/errand runner/etc? With technology moving like it is, we'll probably see lifelike machines in some form or other within the next 20 years.

this was coming regardless of the terminator story. If anybody "could possibly" be responsible for putting this idea in the collective human psyche, I'd say "mabye" Asimov....???

Cameron popularized it for the masses though. Most people will be like, "It was that damn Jim Cameron's fault! I saw Terminator, and now look!!"

lol
